The financial responsibility of a AU is to the credit card holder not the creditor. AU's are not responsible for repaying the debt incurred, the premise being that the they have no control over the account. Some creditor's will however, attempt to make the AU pay at least a partial of the amount owed, even though the AU is not legally obligated.

How can an authorized user on a credit card become the primary user?

An authorized user on a credit card can become the primary user by requesting the primary account holder to transfer the account to their name. This usually involves contacting the credit card issuer to discuss the process, which may include a credit check and approval based on the authorized user's creditworthiness. Once approved, the authorized user will assume full responsibility for the account, including payment obligations. The primary account holder may also need to remove themselves from the account during this transition.

If an authorized user on a credit card transfered balances to that card and the primary user of the card files for chapter 7 will the authorized user still have to pay or will the debt be fully wiped?

I'm trying to follow what your really saying: Presumably there is a "primary" ...that would be the one who applied for the credit and signed the agreements to pay the charges. That person requested a card for another person to use, under the primaries credit agreement, and agreed to be responsible for the charges that person made...the credit card company went along with this request...but it was NOT extending any credit, or even had any type of agreement with this other authorized signer. All charges by that person are the responsibility of the primary...the debt from using the card is not to the second (authorized) person...and any debt (if there is one you can prove), would be by the authorized user to the primary...if they had an agreement that the authorized would pay for any use. The primary would be a creditor of the authorized in that bankruptcy. The credit card company isn't a part of it...the debt remains with the primary...regardless of any payment or not he gets from the authorized party or their bankrutcy. And alternatively, if the authorized person made charges and the primary goes BK, that charges are part of the primaries BK, (and may be discharged). Again, if there is an agreement that the authorized would pay those charges, that "receivable" or asset to the Primary must be reported as such in his BK filing.

How does it apply to a authorized user on the account and the primary dies and the card is used after the death who is responsible for the debt even if the deceased has no monies in any estate?

The authorized users who had full access to the account are both equally responsible for the debts incurred. The secondary user most likely used the card before the primary became deceased ... just because the primary account holder dies does not dismiss the responsibility of the secondary account user.
