     35-17-505. Effect of merger or consolidation -- rights and obligations -- rights of creditors not impaired. (1) On the effective date, the associations which are parties to a plan adopted pursuant to this part become a single association. In the case of a merger, the surviving association is that association so designated in the plan. The articles and bylaws of the surviving association are amended to the extent provided in the documents setting forth the plan of merger. In the case of a consolidation, the new association is the association provided for in the plan. The separate existence of all associations which are parties to the plan, except the surviving or new association, then ceases.
     (2) The surviving or new association possesses all the rights and all the property of each of the individual associations and is responsible for all their obligations. Title to any property is vested in the surviving or new association with no reversion or impairment thereof caused by the merger or consolidation.
     (3) No right of any creditor may be impaired by the merger or consolidation without his consent.
