Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 6, § 1279. Effect of merger

The continuing savings bank shall be considered the same business and corporate entity as each merging institution, with all the property, rights, duties, and obligations of each merging institution, except as otherwise provided by the articles of incorporation of the continuing savings bank. All liabilities of each of the merging institutions shall be liabilities of the continuing savings bank; and all of the rights, franchises, and interests of each of the merging institutions in and to every kind of property, real, personal, or mixed shall vest automatically in the continuing savings bank, without any deed or other transfer. Any reference to a merging institution in any writing, whether executed or effective before or after the merger, shall be deemed a reference to the continuing savings bank, if not inconsistent with the other provisions of such writing. No pending action or other judicial proceeding to which any merging institution is a party shall be abated or dismissed by reason of the merger, but shall be prosecuted to final judgment in the same manner as if the merger had not occurred.
