(b) (1) This state will recognize and give effect to a transfer of personal property having a situs in this state which is effected by operation of the laws of another state through a merger or consolidation at any time conducted under the laws of the other state. (2) (A) This state will recognize and give effect to a transfer of title to real estate located in this state effected by operation of law through a merger or consolidation conducted under laws of one (1) or more other states. This transfer shall be done on condition that a copy of the agreement of merger or consolidation, executed between the merging or consolidating associations and certified by the secretary of state of the state in which the surviving or consolidated association is domiciled, shall be filed for record with the Secretary of State of this state. (B) The Secretary of State of this state shall receive the filing whether the surviving or consolidated association does or does not desire to be admitted to this state.
