Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My father took out a home equity loan in only his name of $50,000. We are fairly sure that he gave that money to his sons, my mother's stepsons to start their business. Shortly after my father passed away. He had no life insurance or will. My mother is on the first loan to their home and is paying that and also paying the home equity loan which she can barely afford because even though it is not in her name if she doesnt they will foreclose the house. Is there any way she could force her stepsons to pay that portion back since it was a loan to them? Thank you, Brandi Hammack
