Equitable Subrogation in the Context of Funds from One Mortgage Loan Used to Pay Off Another Explained

The Second Department explained the doctrine of equitable subrogation. Plaintiff had given two valid mortgages to one bank, and another bank subsequently used a portion of the proceeds of its loan to satisfy those mortgages:

Under the doctrine of equitable subrogation, where the “property of one person is used in discharging an obligation owed by another or a lien upon the property of another, under such circumstances that the other would be unjustly enriched by the retention of the benefit thus conferred, the former is entitled to be subrogated to the position of the obligee or lien-holder” … . Harris v Thompson, 2014 NY Slip Op 03487, 2nd Dept 5-14-14
