A church council member or board member is not personally responsible for the debt of the church or board.
The responsibility for church debt typically lies with the church leadership, such as the board of trustees or elders. They are accountable for managing the finances and making decisions related to borrowing money or accumulating debt on behalf of the church. Members of the congregation may also play a role in addressing or supporting the repayment of church debt through donations or fundraisers.

Depends on the agreement. It is possible for each member to be responsible for the whole amount.
Generally, the estate is responsible for paying the debts of the decedent when the debts are in the sole name of the decedent. If there are no assets then the creditors are out of luck.
No, you are not responsible for his debt. His estate has that responsibility.
Both of the spouses are responsible for the debt. They both benefited from the debt, so they are held responsibility.
No. Though the law may differ in other countries, in the United States, debt dies with the debtor. The debtor's estate can be liquidated to raise capital for the debt, but no family member can be asked to repay any portion of the debt.
Easy. Both. Compared to, if it is a card issued to a company (say XYZ Corp), on their credit, with the "authorized user" "Mr. Pres", then another for "Mr. VP of Sales", etc, then only XYZ is responsible.
You are not responsible for your sibling's debt unless you co-signed and agreed to be responsible for it. If you co-sign for a debt and the primary borrower doesn't pay then you will be held responsible for repayment.
The person who carried the card is still responsible for the debt.
If you were not listed as a joint account holder you are not responsible for the debt.
The estate is responsible for debt. That is one of the reasons for opening probate.
