When a cardholder dies, do Authorized users have to pay the debt?

Authorized user NOT a cosigner

The debt/payment would be paid by executor/executrix with the assets of the estate.  They would also need to close accounts and take off AUs right away with their POA(power of attorney).

You should no longer use the card, any additional charges after the death of the primary the AU could be responsible for, from my understanding.

No, auth users won't have to pay. I wouldn't continue to use the card if it's open since then that would be fraud. No one can demand payment from an auth user.

If the charges were made after the person passed away, and made with your card,  they will come after you for those charges. The card should be closed by the executor of the deceased immediately.
