shall thereafter cause a copy of such certificate, certified by the
department of state, to be filed in the office of the clerk of each
county in which the office of a constituent corporation, other than the
surviving corporation, is located, and in the office of the official who
is the recording officer of each county in this state in which real
property of a constituent corporation, other than the surviving
corporation, is situated.
(g) If the surviving or consolidated corporation is, or is to be,
formed under the law of this state, the effect of such merger or

is, or is to be, incorporated under the law of any jurisdiction other
than this state, the effect of such merger or consolidation shall be the
same as in the case of the merger or consolidation of domestic
corporations, except in so far as the law of such other jurisdiction
