Is it a joint account, or not?

Question: 
The wife was here to open a new joint account with her husband. He travels all the time and wasn’t able to be here. We opened the joint account and let her take a signature card for him to sign ASAP. Problem?
Answer: 

Yes! Husband dies before he signs. Is it really a joint account? Wife dies before husband signs. Is he a joint owner?
