When any conversion has become effective under this chapter, for all purposes of the laws of the State of South Dakota, all of the rights, privileges, and powers of the other business entity that has converted, and all property, real, personal, and mixed, and all debts due to such other business entity, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to such other business entity, shall remain vested in the business trust to which such other business entity has converted and shall be the property of such business trust. The title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in such other business entity may not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of this chapter; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of such other business entity shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities, and duties of the other business entity that has converted shall remain attached to the business trust to which such other business entity has converted, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities, and duties had been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as a business trust. The rights, privileges, powers, and interests in property of the other business entity, as well as the debts, liabilities, and duties of the other business entity, may not be deemed as a consequence of the conversion, to have been transferred to the business trust to which such other business entity has converted for any purpose of the laws of the State of South Dakota.
