Subrogation means the act of putting somebody into the

shoes of the creditor, hence, enabling the former to exercise all

the rights and actions that could have been exercised by the
latter. The law says: “Subrogation transfers to the person subrogated
the credit with all the rights thereto appertaining, either
against the debtor or against third persons, be they guarantors or
possessors of mortgages, subject to stipulation in a conventional
subrogation.”
