§ 70707. Misnomer not to affect transfer of property

A misnomer of the corporation does not affect any transfer of property to or from the corporation.

(Pub. L. 105–225, Aug. 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1355.)

In this section, the word “affect” is substituted for “defeat or annul”, and the words “transfer of property” are substituted for “grant, donation, gift, devise, or bequest”, to eliminate unnecessary words.
