490.375 Rights, obligations, relationships, and trusts of converting credit union.

Sec. 375.

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), if a conversion becomes effective under section 372, 373, or 374, the converted entity is a continuation of the converting credit union and all the property and interests in property and every cause of action, right, privilege, interest, and asset of the converting credit union is immediately and without any conveyance, transfer, or other action vested in the converted organization. Every right, obligation, and relationship of the converting credit union to or in respect to any person, estate, creditor, member, depositor, trust, trustee, collective bargaining agreement, or beneficiary of any trust or fiduciary function continue unimpaired. The converted organization shall continue to hold all the rights, obligations, relationships, and trusts, and the duties and liabilities connected with them, and shall execute and perform each and every trust and relationship in the same manner as if the credit union had not converted. The conversion does not release the converted organization from its obligations to pay and discharge all the liabilities created by law or incurred by the converting credit union before the conversion, or any tax imposed by the laws of this state up to the day of the conversion in proportion to the time that has elapsed since the last preceding tax payment, or any assessment, penalty, or forfeiture imposed or incurred under the laws of this state before the date of the conversion.

(2) Within 1 year after the conversion, the commissioner may for good cause require a converting credit union to divest itself of an asset that does not conform to the legal requirements relative to assets acquired and held by the converted organization.

(3) If a converting credit union was appointed in a fiduciary capacity by a court or governmental tribunal, agency, or officer, the converted organization shall file an affidavit with the appointing authority setting forth the fact of conversion, the name and address of the converted organization, and the amount of its capital and surplus. A converted organization acting as a fiduciary by appointment of a court is subject to removal by a court of competent jurisdiction.
