The co-signer will be required to pay off the debt. That's what they agreed to when they co-signed so that the primary could get the account.
If your cosigner dies during the loan repayment period, the responsibility for repaying the loan typically falls solely on the primary borrower. The terms of the loan agreement will dictate how the situation is handled, but the primary borrower may need to continue making payments on their own or seek alternative arrangements with the lender.
I'm not sure if I get the question. Are you talking about having a cosigner orlike in a PLUS loan? If a borrower dies, the loan can be discharged.
My belief is that as long as the mortgage is paid on time by the borrower, there would be no reason to go after the cosigner estate.
No you are not responsible but if your step daughter does not pay the loan they can still repossess the vehicle.

Yes.
An authorized user on a credit card can be responsible on an account in which the primary card holder passes. The creditor looks at the situation as the authorized card holder was able to make purchases with the account, and should be held liable, even in the event of the primary's death.
Yes, unless the loan is settled by the 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.
It seems like you are asking what happens when one joint account holder dies. I believe that most joint bank accounts are set up so that the surviving account holder would have legal possession of the full balance, the same as he did before the death of the other joint account holder.
A beneficiary is the person to whom the proceeds of a bank account would be paid if the primary account holder of that bank account dies. They can also be termed the nominee for a bank account. This is very important for cases wherein the account holder does not have a legal will stating to whom his account proceeds should go. In such cases the bank would choose the nominee or beneficiary and pay them the account proceeds.
If the account was secured by what ever was purchased, then it is likely to be repossessed, and regular collection procedures will begin to collect any remaining balance. If the account is unsecured, collections will begin against the guarantor or primary on the account. It is possible that the guarantor may be able to get all or part of the debt covered by any funds available from the cosigner's estate, but this would likely require the assistance of an estate attorney.
The person(s) named as the account holder. If the account was held jointly then the surviving account holder is responsible for the debt. If the decedent was the sole account holder the debt becomes a part of his or her estate and is handled according to probate laws.

No, not unless you are a joint debtor/account holder.

Authorized users are usually not responsible for debt incurred by the use of a credit card. However, some card issuers have begun to require an authorized user to sign an agreement similar to those of a the traditional cosigner. Such stipulations contained in the contract of the primary card holder can result in any user being subjected to repayment of those charges he or she makes on the account. Before entering into such an agreement the authorized user should make themselves aware of all the conditions pertaining to the use of the account.
