The estate of the person who has died is responsible for any debts. If there is not enough money in the estate to pay these debts then the people or companies to whom the debts are owed, simply never get paid. The descendants of the person who has died do not have to meet these debts unless they are party to the debt agreement (i.e. they signed the debt agreement too - i.e. the credit card is held in joint names).

If your wife died with credit card debt in her name only should you send them a copy of her death certificate or wait for them to call?
Not sure what the procedure is for all credit card companies, but as long as you are not in charge of the deceased's estate, and your name is not on the credit card account, then you are not responsible. However, you are supposed to call the credit card company and report their death. Any charges incurred after the date of the deceased's death, you are responsible for -- as an authorized user. If you wish to assume the credit card account, you must send the company a copy of your documents naming you as the 'executor of the estate'. This was the case in my mother's recent departure.
