Normally, if the deceased has a will, the executor will thus become the person responsible for probate of the will and payment of bills due to creditors who can establish a claim with the estate.

If there is no will, then the card company is pretty much SOL unless they can get the court to appoint an court-appointed administrator of said estate to disburse funds to the card company provided the company can prove the debt by said deceased person.
