Every gift, grant, legacy, bequest or devise, in trust or otherwise, vested or contingent, in possession or expectancy, contained in any will or other instrument, made before or after the consolidation, to or for, or inuring or accruing to, either constituent corporation, shall vest in, inure and accrue to the benefit of the consolidated corporation as effectually as though made to it and in its name and for its use and benefit, subject to all estates, trusts, interests and conditions imposed in relation thereto, and every such will or other instrument shall take effect subject to the provisions of this act and any consolidation hereunder.
So far as may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing, the separate corporate entity and name of each constituent corporation shall be continued for the purpose of enabling it to accept and receive every such gift, grant, legacy, bequest or devise as fully as though the consolidation had not been effected, and the trustees, chapter or other governing body of the consolidated corporation shall, for such purpose, be deemed to be the trustees, chapter or other governing body of the constituent corporation.
Immediately upon the accrual or receipt of every such gift, grant, legacy, bequest or devise, or the proceeds thereof, the title to the same shall become vested in the consolidated corporation, subject to all estates, trusts, interests and conditions imposed in relation thereto.
