When the merger or consolidation becomes effective, the separate existence of each constituent association ceases except for that of the surviving association in a merger. The surviving associations, or the new association in case of a consolidation, shall possess all the rights and privileges, and is invested with title to all property, rights, and actions whatever possessed by or belonging to each of the constituent associations, without the necessity of any further act or deed. The surviving association or the new association shall be responsible for all of the liabilities and obligations of each of the associations merged or consolidated, to the extent of the value of the property received from each of them.
