After a merger, the surviving domestic or foreign entity may file a statement that one or more domestic partnerships have merged into the surviving entity.

A statement of merger must contain:

1. The name of each entity that is a party to the merger;
2. The name and domicile of the entity that will be the survivor of the merger;
3. The street address of the surviving entity's chief executive office and of an office in this state, if any; and
4. The type of entity of the surviving entity is (e.g., partnership, limited partnership, for profit corporation, etc.).

Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), for the purposes of Section 79-13-302, property of the surviving entity which before the merger was held in the name of another party to the merger is property held in the name of the surviving entity upon filing a statement of merger.

For the purposes of Section 79-13-302, real property of the surviving entity which before the merger was held in the name of another party to the merger is property held in the name of the surviving entity upon recording a certified copy of the statement of merger in the office for recording transfers of that real property.

A filed and, if appropriate, recorded statement of merger, executed and declared to be accurate pursuant to Section 79-13-105(c), stating the name of a partnership that is a party to the merger in whose name property was held before the merger and the name of the surviving entity, but not containing all of the other information required by subsection (b), operates with respect to the partnerships named to the extent provided in subsections (c) and (d).
