Cal. Fin. Code § 5717

The converted association shall have, hold, and enjoy the property mentioned in Section 5716 in its own right as fully and to the same extent as the property was possessed, held and enjoyed by it as a federal association and the converted association continues responsible for all of the obligations of the converted federal association to the same extent as though conversion had not taken place. The association is merely a continuation of the federal association under a new name and new jurisdiction and such revision of its corporate structure as is considered necessary for its proper operation under the new jurisdiction.
