The answer will vary according to the tax laws of each state within the United States. In most state, however, the legal responsibility for real estate taxes is with the owner of the property on tax day. Responsibility can be contractually assigned to other parties, typically when a property is sold, but through foreclosure proceedings as well.
For example, if tax day for your state is January 1, 2010, whoever was the owner on that day would be legally responsible for the real estate taxes for the entire tax year (the tax year can be a calendar year or fiscal year). If the property was sold or involved in foreclosure proceedings after January 1, 2010, the responsibility for real estate taxes can be contractually assigned to the new owner as a result of the foreclosure, but the contract may specific a date that places partial responsibility on the former owner.
The taxing authority in your community should be contacted with specific questions.

The legal owner is the name(s) on the deed. The names on the mortage note are the ones responsible for the loan. However, sometimes the owner/mortgagor complicates the title to the property by selling it after they have granted a mortgage to a bank. In that case, the bank has a senior interest in the property. The grantee on the deed owns the property subject to the mortgage. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank can take possession of the property by foreclosure.

That depends on whether you consented to the mortgage. If you signed the mortgage you transferred your life estate to the bank during the period the mortgage was unpaid. If the mortgage went into default the bank can take possession of the property and wipe out your life estate. If you did not sign the mortgage the bank would take possession of the property subject to your life estate and your right to the use and possession of the property would continue.

They aren't responsible, how about the person who told you to be there or the person who assaulted you. Maybe nobody. The bank is the legal owner of the property.

But the first person you should sue is the person who assaulted you, unless they assaulted you in relation to trespassing on a foreclosed property, in which case, you have no case. Consult a Lawyer.

If your home is foreclosed by the bank can they also take and sell another piece of property that was not included in the foreclosed mortgage?
No. Generally a bank has obtained a judgment to foreclose on a mortgage covering a specific property with the dwelling or building. They only have the right to take the property covered by the mortgage. They have no right to take any personal property. In some jurisdictions the bank may go back to court for any deficiency if the foreclosure auction brings less than was owed on the mortgage. In that case the bank may win a money judgment that would enable it to take other personal property you own to satisfy the judgment. However, most banks never go that far and are satisfied with the foreclosure.

Can a house be foreclosed on in a person's name who is not on mortgage but property is quick claimed to them and they quick claim property back into estate of deceased person name before foreclosure?
A mortgage in default can be foreclosed no matter how many times you quitclaim it around the family. Every person who receives the property by a quitclaim deed takes it subject to the mortgage. You may slow down the process a little and add to the costs of the foreclosure but the foreclosure rides on the person who had title at the time of the mortgage. THEY gave an interest in the property to the bank in exchange for cash. If the cash was not paid back the bank is going to take possession of the property. Subsequent owners only need to be given notice of the proceeding.
