Legal issues are different depending on the jurisdiction.
Debts against a deceased person are, usually, levied against the estate of the deceased. If the debt is a joint debt with the widow then the widow will be liable.

What is a judgment in personal finance?
When a person is taken to civil court (for example, a credit card company suing a cardholder to get paid back), the court makes a judgment for or against the plaintiff (entity initiating the lawsuit, in this example, the credit card company). If the judgment is for the plaintiff, the result is effectively a judgment against the defendant (the person taken to court in the example). Part of the judgment is the amount that is to be paid to the entity winning the court case (judgment). Judgements against a borrower (and the amount set to be paid by that borrower) will make their way onto the credit report and will cause a drop in credit score.

Can a credit card company go after a car of the deceased person if there is already a lien against it?
A judgment creditor may still execute the writ against property that is encumbered by lien(s). However, the existing liens take precedence when it relates to payment of such debt. That being the case it is unlikely that a judgment creditor would take such action. In a case where the property in question is part of the estate of the deceased, the probate laws of the state in which the deceased resided apply. Real property becomes part of the deceased estate and creditors must file a claim with the probate court seeking payment from the estate itself.
