N.D. Cent. Code § 6-03-12
All of the rights, property, franchises, and interests of the consolidating or merging bank or trust company are deemed to be transferred to and vested in the bank or trust company into which it is consolidated or merged without other instrument of transfer. The consolidated bank or trust company shall hold and enjoy the same and all rights, property, franchises, and interests in the same manner and to the same extent as were held and enjoyed by the bank or trust company so consolidated or merged therewith, including the holding and performing by any bank or trust company of any and all trust and fiduciary relations whatsoever as to and for which either or any of the banks or trust companies so consolidating or merging may have been appointed, nominated, or designated by any will, agreement, conveyance, or otherwise, whether or not such trust or fiduciary relationship has come into being or has taken effect at the time of the consolidation or transfer. The merging bank or trust company, however, shall transfer all of its real property to the consolidated bank or trust company by good and sufficient deed of conveyance, and for that and other purposes, it remains a body corporate until dissolved in the manner provided in chapter 6-07.2, or if no assets or liabilities remain, until the certificate is canceled by the secretary of state.
