I have POA for aunt who is 90. Her assets were in her name until a year ago. POA gives me right to gift.

If you give gifts, those gifts will cause a Medicaid penalty.  You can't give gifts as part of the spend down even though the POA probably says you can give gifts.

If the house of a decedent is foreclosed upon by the bank, are the heirs responsible for any taxes or bills?

You have not stated whether your father's estate has been presented for probate.  The appointment of an executor or administrator delays foreclosure for six months.  If the lender then forecloses, it takes the property with all debts associated with it.
