The estate is responsible for credit card debts and all other debts. One of the primary reasons someone should open an estate is to resolve debts. The estate has to pay off the debts.

The deceased spouse's estate is typically responsible for settling debts before any assets are distributed to heirs. If the estate does not have sufficient assets to cover the debts, those debts may go unpaid. However, exceptions can apply based on specific circumstances and types of debts.

The creditor can take any action against you that could be taken against the other borrower, and they do not have to go after the other borrower first.
