What do we need to do if his wife and I want me to be able to talk to the people he owed money to?

You have to file a probate petition in the County where he lived. It is likely that it will be a short form filing. His wife is likely his heir, unless there was a will. In order to pay any debt, you need to get an accounting of everything he owned.

Can my husband’s aunt with a power of attorney evict my husband and sell the house?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Your husband needs to file a petition for conservator-ship of his mother and at the same time obtain an order terminating the power of attorney. Suggest you seek the services of a probate attorney who specializes in conservator-ship proceedings. With the conservator-ship, your husband being the conservator of the assets also could sell the house to help pay for his mother's care if needed as the asset is for her care, so as to not burden the taxpayer for her eventual board and care in a licensed facility. Tell the aunt to stuff it, as she cannot sell it.
