Maybe.

In some community property states a surviving spouse is responsible for all the debts that were incurred during the marriage even if he or she did not hold the account.

Your husband passed away and had credit cards in his name and your name was not authorized to use them do you have to pay off the credit card company?

This is tough because the laws vary by state so you really have to your own research. I will say; however, that if your husband used that card for "family use", i.e.: food, bills, etc. then you can be held liable. Also, if you ever signed a credit card receipt then you can be found liable because you are then deemed to have implied authorization.
