If you are a joint account holder you can still use the card. The creditor should be notified of the death of the other account holder. They may simply remove the person from the account or require you to open a new account in your name. However, if you are the joint holder you are responsible for the entire amount owed on the account.
An authorized user on a credit card can be responsible on an account in which the primary card holder passes. The creditor looks at the situation as the authorized card holder was able to make purchases with the account, and should be held liable, even in the event of the primary's death.
Yes. Even though credit cards are considered unsecured transactions, the account holder can be sued by the original creditor or a third party collector for the debt.
the primary credit holder is the person who usually has the the better credit score or higher income. the secondary is on the loan too for the purpose of ownership. another scenario is when helping someone establish credit. the person looking to obtain credit will be the primary, the secondary would be the co-signor-helping guarantee that the creditor will be paid. In case of default on the loan, the secondary is next in line to pay it. Both people will have negative affects if not paid in a timely manner.

If the surviving ex spouse was not a joint account holder and the couple did not reside in a community property state they are not responsible for credit card debt of the deceased. Even if the married couple resided in a CP state the spouse may not be responsible for such debt depending upon the circumstances.

The creditor can sue the account holder(s) to recover the debt. The defaulted account will be entered on the consumer's credit report and negatively affect the person's credit score. That type of negative entry will remain on the CR for 7 years.
Depends on what "Type" of Credit Holder you are. Here is how that will go: If you are what is known as an authorized user on the account. (i.e. - The Primary account holder has given you permission to make charges on the account), the answer is No. The primary account holder is responsible for any charges he/she has allowed you to make on the account. If you are a Secondary account holder (i.e. -your name was put on the account APPLICATION at the time the card was applied for), then your answer is YES. If the Primary account holder defaults on the account, then the credit card company will turn to try and collect from the Secondary account holder. BEWARE of becoming a secondary holder on anything that has to do with credit. If you know that the Primary holder may default, you could get stuck with a huge amount of debt on your hands, and if you can't pay, your nice credit score of 783 could very quickly go down the drain to 535 or lower.
Creditors obtain all the information they need to report defaulted accounts to credit bureaus when the account holder fills out the original application/agreement.

If the account the cosigner is on is included in the bankruptcy it will appear on their credit report. In most cases the cosigner will not be relieved of the debt when the primary holder files for bankruptcy. The creditor(s) can then pursue the cosigner for the collection of money owed.
