Hopefully I understand your question. A husband would only have authority to act on any joint accounts held with the spouse. Otherwise if the wife is not able to act then the power of attorney may act and may be the only person who can act depending on the assets.\n\nThis information is general and is not intended as legal advise. You should consult with an attorney for advise specific to your situation.
