I'm sure they did this because there was a balance on one of the cards which I am now responsible for. I would have paid it off anyway but they didn't know this.

if someone is an authorized user, and authorized to use MR, i would think they would be given the option of becoming primary upon death of the primary..
unless there is a balance, and then it would automatically go to either authorized user or those specified in the will/etc, right?

Personal Experience
My father passed away years ago, and my mother was a secondary card holder on his Amex account. I believe she may have had to fax Amex a death certificate (but I think the process was rather seemless)...we subsequently used the points to go to Europe several times
