My wife's mother just died. She (my wife) is listed on her mother's account. Should she take money from the account to pay her mother's final expenses before the bank freezes the account or NOT?

Re: Death of Parent
If they are both listed on the account with "or" between the names, then the money belongs to your wife not. Just ask the bank how their policies work.
