If you are in Tennessee, you can complete a power of attorney form to grant your wife the authority to manage your affairs. Once you complete it, you must sign it in front of a notary public, and that is all that is necessary to give your wife the power to act on your behalf (Tennessee Code Annotated § 34-6-101). Your wife does not need to sign.
Make multiple copies of the signed and notarized form, and give them to your wife, your bank, and your attorney. Keep one for your records also. If your wife will be conducting real estate transactions on your behalf, then file the power of attorney with the register of deeds in the county where the property is located.

So, I need to fill it and sign in front of a notary public?
