Section 10-12-56

Vesting of certain rights, privileges, powers, property, liabilities and duties.

(a) When any merger has become effective under this chapter, for all purposes of the laws of the state, all the rights, privileges, and powers of each of the domestic limited liability companies and other business entities that have merged, and all property, real, personal, and mixed, and all debts due to any of the domestic limited liability companies and other business entities, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to each of the domestic limited liability companies and other business entities, shall be vested in the surviving or resulting domestic limited liability company or other business entity, and shall thereafter be the property of the surviving or resulting domestic limited liability company or other business entity as they were of each of the domestic limited liability companies and other business entities that have merged. The title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in any of the domestic limited liability companies and other business entities shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of this chapter.

(b) All rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the domestic limited liability companies and other business entities shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of each of the domestic limited liability companies and other business entities that have merged shall attach to the surviving or resulting domestic limited liability company or other business entity, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if the debts, liabilities, and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.

(c) Unless otherwise provided in the articles of merger, a merger, of a domestic limited liability company, including a domestic limited liability company which is not the surviving or resulting entity in the merger, shall not require the domestic limited liability company to wind up its business and affairs, or pay its liabilities and distribute its assets.
