Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A personal defense is a defense that can only be asserted by the principal debtor, as it relates to the debtor's personal rights or obligations. Real defenses, on the other hand, can be asserted by anyone who holds an interest in the underlying property or instrument. Subrogated defenses refer to the right of a party who pays off a debt to step into the shoes of the creditor and assert the creditor's rights against the debtor. Joint defenses are those that are available to multiple parties who have been sued or otherwise face liability.
