Text

All rights and property of every kind and description, which were vested in any municipality, shall vest in the same city or village upon its incorporation under this Code. No change in corporate organization shall affect adversely any existing rights in favor of or liabilities against any municipality. No suit or prosecution of any kind that involves any municipality shall be affected by any change in corporate organization of the municipality, but the suit or prosecution shall stand and progress as if no change in corporate organization had been made. However, when a change in corporate organization of any municipality makes applicable a provision in this Code that gives a different remedy, the remedy shall be cumulative to the remedies before provided.
