When a county becomes a charter county:
(1) all property and franchises belonging to or in the possession of the former county commissioners of the county or any county agencies are vested in the charter county as a corporation;
(2) an action against the former county commissioners of the county does not abate and is continued in the name of the charter county with the same effect as if originally brought against the charter county;
(3) all liabilities, obligations, contracts, claims, and demands, accrued or to accrue, of the former county commissioners of the county are the liabilities, obligations, contracts, claims, and demands of the charter county; and
(4) a criminal proceeding is not affected by the adoption of the charter and shall be prosecuted under the law in effect at the time of the crime.
