What makes you a co-signer on a credit card account and liable for the debt when the person who initiated the account dies?

[Edit]

Answer

Someone who becomes a co-signer for a financial transaction is pledging to be responsible for the debt if the primary borrower defaults. FYI, an authorized user of a cc account is not the same thing, and is not responsible for the cc debt.
