Yes. The husband can execute a POA making his mother the attorney-in-fact to act on his behalf. The wife should withdraw at least half the funds in the account and deposit it in her own name. She might want to discuss the situation with an attorney if a considerable sum of money is involved. The situation would be intolerable to most wives.

If the father gave his daughter power of attorney does the wife need a power of attorney also if she is on his checking account?

No. The wife doesn't need a Power of Attorney because her husband executed one. If the wife is "on her husband's account" then it's a joint account and the wife can still do her own banking. However, if the wife wants to be able to have someone else do her banking for her then she will also need to execute a POA naming the daughter as her attorney-in-fact.


Can a husband deposit wife's paycheck on his checking account even if wife is not in the account?

The check would first have to be endorsed, that is, signed, by the wife before being deposited. The endorsement is proof that the wife has agreed to this by signing the check over to her husband. An unendorsed check will not be accepted.

Can you legally take money from your husband's checking account?

No, not without being on his account...or actually having approved access to it by him.


Can wife add her name to his checking account without his approval legally?

No she can't as a matter of fact without his written permission she can't even get general information about that account. This is what I found to be amazing, if this couple has a joint savings account, but the husband's name is the only one on the checking account, he is the only one that can legally transfer money from the savings account to the checking account. It also works this way if there is a joint checking account and money needs to be transferred from the joint checking account, to the savings account with only the husband's name on it, he is the only one that can move money from one account to the other. I am a bank manager and I know this is more information than you asked for, but when I have to explain this to couples, it often leads to a very heated discussion between them in my office. I live in Virginia and I can only answer for Virginia. I hope you found this answer helpful.
