Yes. If the parties are legally married, the wife still inherits according to the will or intestacy laws if the husband dies. Only a legal divorce would remove her status as wife.

If real property is held by husband and wife as tenants by the entireties does a judgment against one attach to the property?
In a tenancy by the entireties, property is owned by both spouses collectively. Therefore, if a judgment is entered against one spouse, it typically cannot attach to the property held as tenants by the entireties. This is because creditors generally cannot access property held in this manner to satisfy the debt of one spouse.

What are the legalities. when a spouse unkowingly access money from your account?
Depends of what State. If the incident occurs in a "common law" state; that is to say that property of married persons is considered "joint" property, nothing. If a spouse "unknowingly" accesses money from the account of a "spouse", unless there is a written agreement, such as a prenup or separation agreement, there is no crime. By mere virtue of the fact that the spouse COULD access the money, negates any claim the other spouse could make. "Unknowingly" implies without knowledge. It is not possible to access money "unknowingly", thus I take your meaning to be the identity of the account holder was unknown.

Can adult children take Power of Attorney away from Step-Mother in Florida?
The question is very unclear. I am going to guess that you hold a power of attorney from your spouse, whose mental condition is altered. The spouse's children are concerned that you are looting the property of your spouse and converting their inheritance into your own property. On those facts, they certainly can have your power of attorney revoked, have themselves appointed as guardians of your spouse, and sue you to make you explain what you have done with every penny of the spouse's money that you took up under the power of attorney. If it appears that you took the spouse's separate property (i.e., not marital property) and you cannot show that you spent the money on the care of the spouse, then expect to spend time in prison. Florida protects its senior citizens with as much vigor as a bear protecting its young.
If both your husband and you are on the grant deed and he refinances to pay off the loan with the loan only in his name will the wife still be on the Grant Deed?
Normally a lender will require the spouse who is not borrowing the money to execute a deed transferring the property to the spouse who is borrowing the money. This would normally be accomplished during the escrow process. After the loan process is completed the borrower spouse can execute a new deed to add the other spouse back on. The spouse who is being asked to sign off the deed should beware, understanding that once they sign off he or she no longer owns the property. You want to make sure that you get added back on but the property is subject to the mortgage.
