Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut

Can a spouse rent (execute listing agreement & leases) a property in CT that they both own together, on behalf of their spouse that is very ill, but still coherent? Said property owned together, in joint tenancy, in Connecticut? Note: 1st spouse (wife) also has P.O.A. for 2nd spouse (husband); (both CT residents).
