This would probably depend on the specific laws of the state that the bank account is in. If there are no heirs, then I don't know where the bank is going to get the money to pay the charges. Most states require debts (overdrawn charges would be a debt) to be paid by the "estate". If there is no estate, and no one else who agreed to be responsible for the decedent's debts, there is probably no way the bank will be paid back. The debts die with the debtor. Again, it depends on the specific state you are in as well as the size and content of the decedent's estate and whether anyone else might be considered responsible for the decedent's debts, ie cosigner on a loan.

Is a surviving spouse in Pennsylvania responsible for repayment of a credit card debt when his deceased wife was the authorized user on an account that was held by her deceased mother?

No. Only the account holder is responsible for repayment of debt incurred on a credit card. An authorized user is not responsible for repayment, but in this case if the now deceased AU continued to use the account after the death of her mother (the account holder), the AU's estate might be responsible for any charges made under such circumstances. In any event, the surviving spouse is NOT responsible to repay the CC debt.
