When someone dies and leaves a debt for which there is no co-debtor, the decedent's assets may be used to pay the debts. In many states, a proceeding called a "probate" is the avenue whereby the assets of the decedent are collected and either liquidated to pay debts, or if the debts have been paid, distributed to heirs.

Can someone with bad credit co-sign with someone with good credit and get a card using the other person's good credit?

You've got that stated backward. The person with bad credit who needs a credit card would be the borrower. He has to find someone with good credit to be the cosigner. And the cosigner has to really trust the borrower because he is going to be responsible for repaying the card if (when) the borrower doesn't.
