Yes, after the proper legal steps have been taken.

Property ownership is often a prime consideration in the decision to sue by a credit card company (or it's collection agency). They would have to file a lawsuit, which the consumer would have a chance to defend. If they won the suit, they could proceed with the legal steps to place a lien on any real property, garnish wages and attach bank accounts. All of these potential scenarios would be determined and governed by state law.

Is the beneficiary of a will entitled to a share of the decedent's jointly-owned property?

It depends on what the will states. If the will states that you are the sole beneficiary of all of the decedent's property, you will receive whatever share the decedent owned of the jointly-owned property. The decedent's share of the property will become your share. If there are other beneficiaries and the division of ownership is not specified in the will, the decedent's share of the jointly-owned property will be divided equally amongst the beneficiaries. If the will states a specific division amongst beneficiaries (e.g. 1/2 interest to John Doe, 1/4 interest to Jane Doe and 1/4 interest to Bob Doe), then the decedent's share of the jointly owned property will be divided amongst the beneficiaries accordingly. But, the quick answer to your question is that just because someone else who is still alive has a share of the decedent's property doesn't mean that the entire property reverts to that alive shareholder. The decedent's interest in the property will go to his or her heirs in the same proportion that the decedent owned the property when he or she was alive.
