The reason and estate is opened is to pay all the debts off if possible. If the estate doesn't have the assets to do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court signs off on the distribution, the debts are ended.
It becomes part of the probate procedure of the deceased's estate.
The deceased's estate is going to be responsible. The spouse can be held as a beneficiary of the costs and by inheriting less from the estate.
The estate is responsible for the decedent's credit card debt.
The estate is required to pay off the debts including credit cards. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.

The estate pays. If nothing in the estate they do not get paid.
It depends on the country you are in, but in the UK, the first claim on the estate is the revenue (ie tax), then debtors - which would include the credit card debt. That should be paid out of the estate of the deceased.
It does not. The debt belongs to the deceased. If the estate cannot settle the account, the credit card company is not going to get paid.
Their estate is responsible for the debt. First, if the deceased has a home, property, condo, cars, etc., the estate will sell it off and pay the debtors. If there are no assets, the debtors will lose their money. If there is no will, the estate will be distributed according to the intestacy laws.
The debt will be paid from your estate. If there isn't enough, then the debt is discharged. The debt itself will not pass on to next of kin but a sizable debt might mean none of the deceased's estate does either.
Typically, the estate of the deceased individual is responsible for paying off any outstanding balances on credit cards. If the deceased person has a joint account holder or a cosigner on the credit card, they may also be responsible for the debt. In some cases, credit card companies may write off the debt if there are no assets in the estate to cover the outstanding balance.
