Best Answer

Yes and No.

If the wife has a legal power of attorney signed over by you, which gives her the right to act on your behalf, then yes, she can open an account in the husbands name without him being present.

If there is no power of attorney available, then No, the wife cannot open the account in the husbands name without him being present. Doing so would be illegal and considered forgery.
