Certificate Of Merger Or Consolidation For Use By Domestic Nonprofit Corporations {550}

550 - CERTIFICATE OF MERGER. This form for domestic profit and nonprofit corporations is a legal document used in Michigan to record and authorize the merger of two or more corporations into a single surviving corporation. This form sets forth the essential details of the merger, including the names and identification numbers of all corporations involved, the designation of the surviving corporation, the treatment of shares or memberships, and any amendments or restatements to the Articles of Incorporation. For nonprofit corporations, it also requires information about membership or directorship structures, voting rights, and terms of the merger. The certificate ensures compliance with Michigan law by documenting that the merger plan was properly approved by shareholders, members, or directors as required. Once filed with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, the merger becomes legally effective, consolidating the corporations into one entity and transferring all rights, obligations, and assumed names to the survivor. This filing provides legal recognition of the new corporate structure and protects the validity of the merged organization’s operations going forward. www.FormsWorkflow.com
