Abstract
The doctrine of equitable subrogation provides courts with a vehicle to allow a lending institution that has paid off an existing loan to take the original lending institution's place in priority status. 2 While the doctrine appears quite simple, courts have been remarkably inconsistent in their approaches to allowing equitable subrogation claims. This Note discusses the various approaches taken by courts today, and more importantly, analyzes Missouri's current approach as affirmed most recently in Metnor Financial, Inc. v. Landoll Corporation.
