The legal title to all real property owned by a school district and annexed to another school district, included in a reorganized district, or subjected to dissolution, vests in the board of the reorganized school district or of the district to which the property is annexed or attached on the effective date of the reorganization, annexation, or dissolution. If the reorganized district or district to which the property is annexed or attached includes less than the whole of the former district, legal title to the real property of the former district vests in the board of the school district in which the property is situated on the effective date of the reorganization, annexation, or dissolution. If the real property of a dissolved district is sold, exchanged, or donated to another political subdivision pursuant to section 15.1-12-27, legal title to the real property vests in the political subdivision to which the real property was sold, exchanged, or donated on the effective date of the dissolution. A certificate prepared by a licensed attorney, citing the legal description of the property and stating that the property has become annexed, attached, or reorganized with another school district, or sold, exchanged, or donated to another political subdivision, must be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the property is located.
