association, such federal association shall be deemed to be a
continuation of the entity of the association so converted and all
property of the converted association, including its rights, titles,
and interests in and to all property of whatever kind, whether real,
personal, or mixed, and things in action, and every right,
privilege, interest, and asset of any conceivable value or benefit
then existing or pertaining to it, or which would inure to it, shall
immediately by operation of law and without any conveyance or
transfer and without any further act or deed remain and be vested in
and continue and be the property of such federal association into
which the state association has converted itself, and such federal
association shall have, hold and enjoy the same in its own right as
fully and to the same extent as the same was possessed, held, and
enjoyed by the converting association, and such federal association
as of the time of the taking effect of such conversion shall
continue to have and succeed to all the rights, obligations and
relations of the converting association. All pending actions and
other judicial proceedings to which the converting state association
is a party shall not be deemed to have abated or to have
discontinued by reason of such conversion, but may be prosecuted to
final judgment, order, or decree in the same manner as if such
conversion into such federal association had not been made and such
federal association resulting from such conversion may continue such
action in its corporate name as a federal association, and any
judgment, order or decree may be rendered for or against it which
might have been rendered for or against the converting state
association theretofore involved in such judicial proceedings.
