There is always the assumption is that the wife inherits at least half, if not all, of the husband's assets. But the estate has to liquidate all assets before they can transfer them to the spouse. One way or another, the spouse ends up paying the debt. The spouse has some right in all real property owned by the husband. If the assets are not enough to cover the debt, the real property may have a lien placed against it to cover those debts.

No, the spouse is not responsible. However it does come out there assets left behind.
Debts of the spouse are considered to have benefited both of them. He can be held responsible for the debts.
Your dead spouse's estate is responsible for the credit card debt. In practice, this may amount to "you are responsible for it."
