““We do not have here a case of conventional subrogation but of legal subrogation that arises by operation of law. ‘Subrogation arises by operation of law where a person has been compelled to pay off a prior encumbrance in order to protect himself, or where he has paid the debt of another in such circumstances that equity will afford him the security or obligation held by the creditor whose claim has been paid’.” (Emphasis supplied).”
