No. I do not think you have grounds against the lender. Some lawyers have purused this line of reasoning in other states, but I have not see such a case in Florida yet.

You daughter and son-in-law went into the loan with open eyes. Are you suggesting that they should not be held accountable for what they did but rather the bank should? They agreed to make monthly payment to the bank and apparently defaulted. That was their doing. Under the current state of Florida law, I think that they would be held responsible.
