Section 4-28-309 - Continuation of prior corporate existence for limited purpose(a) The corporate existence of each constituent corporation which has been dissolved through merger or consolidation shall be continued indefinitely for the limited purpose of enabling the constituent corporation to execute through its own officers formal deeds, conveyances, assignments, and other instruments evidencing the transfer from the constituent to the surviving corporation, or new corporation created by consolidation, of any or all real and personal properties which have passed from the constituent to the surviving or consolidated corporation by operation of law.(b) The execution of the instruments shall not be essential to effect the transfer of title from the constituent to the surviving or consolidated corporation, inasmuch as the transfer will take effect through operation of law, but the power to execute such instruments is given to the end that it may be exercised: (1) In respect to properties located in foreign jurisdictions which may not recognize a transmittal of title by operation of law under the merger and consolidation statutes of this state; and(2) In any other situation where the directors of the surviving or consolidated corporation consider the execution of the instruments desirable.Acts 1983, No. 614, § 8; A.S.A. 1947, § 64-1932.
