Can't navigate everything involving transition my mom and stepdad. If I give up POA, who will step in and pay bills, etc.? I can't do this alone

Find Care & Housing
You can hire a geriatric care manager, paid for out of your mom and stepdad's income. Just google for your area.

What is the transition you're going through? Are they moving or needing more care? If they're moving to a facility that facility should be helping you through this process, although it's certainly still a lot of work.

Are you wanting to resign as POA or are you wanting help managing everything? I believe resigning POA if you're currently doing a bunch of care for an incompetent person/couple needs to be done with care so you don't wind up in trouble for abandoning a helpless person. Are your mom and stepdad still living in their own place? Or in a nursing home or assisted living?

If you want someone else to take over paying their bills, and they have the money to pay for it, you can hire a fiduciary to manage their financial affairs.

Are mom and step dad cognizant?
If yes they can select another POA that can do what needs to be done for them.
If they are not cognizant then you may have to step down and let a Court Appointed Guardian manage them.
Talk to the Elder Care Attorney (or who set up the original POA documents) and say that you simply can no longer manage the role of POA
