(1) 
This section shall apply to corporations for profit that were both formed under the laws of this
state and dissolved before July 1, 1994.
(2) The dissolution of a corporation shall not eliminate or impair any remedy available to
or against the corporation or its directors, officers, or shareholders for any right or claim existing
or any liability incurred prior to such dissolution if an action or other proceeding is commenced
thereon within two years after the date of the dissolution. The foregoing limitation shall not
apply to any action affecting title to real estate. Any action or proceeding by or against the
corporation may be prosecuted or defended by the corporation in its corporate name. The
shareholders, directors, and officers of the corporation shall have power to take such corporate
and other action as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any remedy available to the
corporation, pursue any action or proceeding by the corporation, or defend against any action or
proceeding against the corporation.
(3) (a) After dissolution of the corporation, title to any property of the corporation not
previously distributed or disposed of by the corporation shall remain in the corporation. The
majority of the surviving members of the last acting board of directors as named in the files of
the secretary of state shall have full power and authority:
(I) To sue and be sued in the corporate name and, for purposes of suit against such
corporation, each director is an agent for process; and
(II) To act on behalf of and in the name of such corporation to convey and dispose of
any corporate property not distributed or disposed of in the dissolution.
(b) Final disposition of such property shall be made by the majority of the surviving
directors in the manner provided by law at the time of dissolution of such corporation. Upon the
death of the last survivor of such directors, the public trustee of the county in which property
owned by such corporation is situated shall have full power and authority to act on behalf of and
in the name of such corporation to convey and dispose of such property.
