Upon the date of commencement of this Act —
all property, movable and immovable, which immediately before that date was vested in and held by or for the Board shall be transferred to and vest in the Association without further assurance and the Association shall have all powers necessary to take possession of, recover and deal with such property;
all rights, obligations and liabilities of the Board which may have existed before that date shall be the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Association; and
