Credit cards are the responsibility of the estate has to pay off the debts. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.
The estate is responsible for the decedent's credit card debt.
The person who carried the card is still responsible for the debt.
Generally, the person that signed up for the credit card is responsible. If any users were added to the account, they are also responsible. This include joint accounts. You cannot inherit credit card debt. So, do not believe a collection agency when they tell you that. See the FDCPA for your rights in debt collection.
No. The card holder is responsible for all debt on the credit they extended to him. (You may be responsible to the credit card holder for the debt he incurred for you, if that was your agreement).

You are because you incurred the debt.
No one. The family is not responsible for the debt. Credit cards want people to think they are, but it is volunteer to pay/assume the debt of the person who passed away.
The person who is the account holder is responsible for the debt unless it can be proven the debt was fraudulently incurred.
No one. The person left is not responsible for the debt. The credit cards want people to think that the family owes for the deceased debt, but they don't.
A person is in credit card debt when they have charges on their credit card and can not pay them. A person can make charges on a credit card and make payments at a later date. When a person charges on their credit card, the charge is now a debt that must be paid.
Your dead spouse's estate is responsible for the credit card debt. In practice, this may amount to "you are responsible for it."
No - the card (and thus any debt) is nothing to do with you - and you are not responsible for it.
