I am a trusts and estates attorney in New York. You are correct that you must file a gift tax return when conveying a deed to a non-spouse even if you retain a life estate in said property. The property will also be included in the grantor's estate at full fair market value as of date of death.

Your basis would be the Fair Market Value of the property at the time of death or the alternate valuation date selected by the executor of the estate, plus any adjustments necessitated by events after the date of death. If an estate tax return was filed, you should obtain the information from the return. If not, you should obtain an appraisal. If no appraisal was performed, you can get a retroactive appraisal done, but these are expensive, especially as more time passes.

Yes. Death does not get you out of paying income taxes in the United States. I do several returns a year for deceased people. This is called a Decedents Return.

The Administrator or whomever is in charge of the Estate is responsible to file and pay the any taxes due from the Estate.

Your aunt's estate is responsible for her debts. If there is no estate her creditors are out of luck. If you receive any bills you could return them with a copy of her death certificate.

What happens when the person paying the mortgage is not on the mortgage and the original mortgagor dies?
Most likely, nothing, as long as the payments continue on time. If the payments stop, the lender with foreclose on the property and the borrower's estate will be impacted. The payments are still due beyond the death of the borrower - they become the responsibility of the borrower's estate. An equally important question is who is now the legal owner of the real estate. If the decedent didn't transfer the property to a survivorship tenancy with another, their estate must be probated in order for title to pass to the heirs at law or under the terms of the will. An estate of real property must be probated in order for title to the property to pass to the heirs legally.

Are there taxes on life insurance?
The death benefit on a life insurance policy is not taxable for federal income tax purposes. However, the death benefit becomes included in the estate calculations of the deceased. So, depending on the estate tax laws in affect at the time of death, there may be estate taxes on the death benefit proceeds of the life insurance policy (but not income taxes). Here's an example. If you are the beneficiary of a death benefit of $500k from your parent and your parent has no other assets, then there would likely be no taxes on the proceeds. If you are the beneficiary of a death benefit of $500k from your parent and your parent has more assets than the Federal estate tax exclusions in effect at time of death, then perhaps the $500k will have estate taxes due as part of the estate. This is because the addition of the policy proceeds to whatever else comprosed the estate may take the estate value over the limit such that taxes will be payable on it. This was a simple example, and there are certainly many other possibilities and scenarios.
