RE: Kansas City Variable Life Separate Account
Gentlemen:
In connection with the filing of the "Rule 24f-2 Notice" with the
Securities and Exchange Commission concerning the Kansas City Life
Variable Life Separate Account, I have examined such records and
documents and reviewed such matters of law as I deem necessary for
this opinion. I advise you that in my opinion:
1. The Kansas City Life Variable Life Separate Account is a
separate account of Kansas City Life Insurance Company duly created
and validly existing pursuant to Missouri law, and it is currently
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the Investment Company Act of 1940.
2. The individual variable life insurance contracts will be
legal and binding obligations of Kansas City Life Insurance Company
in accordance with their terms when they are issued in accordance
with the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and
upon compliance with applicable law.
3. The portion of the assets held in the Kansas City Variable
Life Separate Account equal to the reserves and other contract
liabilities with respect to the Separate Account are not chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business Kansas City Life
may conduct.
I consent to use of this letter, or a copy thereof, as an exhibit
to the notice filed pursuant to Rule 24f-2.
Yours very truly,
