My brother did a healtcare power of attorney designating his wife to care for my mother
He died and widow will not let me care for her. She says has a POA but not been able to see document. If that POA was signed in 2010 while my mom has Alzheimers is it valid?
Can my mom signed a revocation and be able to be freed?
She has said that she doesn't want to be there
Can I be arrested if I try to take my mom?

The only way your mother could have validly executed a power of attorney is if she had the requisite mental competence at the time she signed it. Similarly, she can't properly execute a revocation without mental competence. You may have to open a guardianship proceeding and appoint a guardian if you wish to make decisions on her behalf.
