Only in certain instances. If your name on the credit card debt? For instance, is it a joint account? If so, you are liable for it. If not, you are not legally liable for it. Some sneaky collection agencies will try to tell you that you are liable when you are not. This is illegal. Learn your rights against collection agencies by reading up on the FDCPA.

In NH if a married spouse expires is the surviving spouse responsible for a credit card debt of the deceased spouse if the living spouse never signed any document.?
In Ohio, if the debt was owned jointly, then yes, you are responsible. If if wasn't, they cannot make you liable for another's debt. This is in Ohio. Credit reports are held in both owners name, if they are co-owners or own the debt jointly, such as a home mortgage. If the credit card is owned by spouse1 and spouse2 does not have permission to use it, then spouse1 is the only responsible person for that debt. Spouse2 cannot be held responsible - in all financial transactions in the state of Ohio, even if the debt has incurred from some other country or state. Wherever you reside determines the law for the consumer. Check your state for that.

In Ohio who is responsible for a dead spouses medical bills?
In most countries (I expect the state of Ohio would be the same) the debts of a deceased person are normally payed from that person's estate and would be settled by the executor of the estate as part of obtaining probate for the estate. If you are worried (and the estate has an executor) speak to the executor, otherwise seek advice from an attorney if the hospital is coming after you for the money.
