§ 209. Effect of consolidation. The consolidated or merged corporation shall possess all the powers of the constituent corporations and shall have the power and be subject to the duties and obligations of a congregation of the Jewish faith formed for like purposes under the religious corporations law. All the rights, privileges and interests of each of the constituent corporations, all the property, real, personal and mixed, and all the debts due on whatever account to either of them, and all things in action, belonging to either of them, shall be deemed to be transferred to and vested in such new corporation without further act or deed; and all claims, demands, property, and every other interest, belonging to the several constituent corporations, shall be as effectually the property of the new corporation as they were of the constituent corporations, and the title to all real property, held or taken by deed or otherwise under the laws of this state, vested in the several constituent corporations shall not be deemed to revert or to be in any way impaired by reason of the consolidation but shall be vested in the new corporation. Any devise, bequest, gift, grant, or declaration of trust, contained in any deed, will, or other instrument, in trust or otherwise, made before or after such consolidation, or merger to or for any of the constituent corporations, shall inure to the benefit of the consolidated or merged corporation. The consolidated corporation shall be deemed to have assumed and shall be liable for all debts and obligations of the constituent corporations in the same manner as if such new corporation had itself incurred such debts or obligations.
