Revocation of Wills CodicilsReview List
This document is provided to inform you about this document and assist you in its preparation. A revocation typically occurs when someone wishes to extinguish an old will due to a change in beneficiaries. Such circumstances typically occur after a divorce, remarriage, or similar change in situation.

Eardley Mitford has written: 'The law of wills, codicils and revocations' -- subject(s): Executors and administrators, Forms, Inheritance and succession, Wills
A properly drafted will contains a statement that revokes all other wills and codicils executed by the testator. The most recent will should be presented to the court for allowance. Any objections to that version may be made at that time.
Not necessarily. They need to be signed or initialed by the person for whom the will was drafted. The signing or initialing can be done ANYWHERE.
Addendums to a will, codicils, can only be made by the testator. Codicils should be drafted in the same form as the will and they should be notarized.
Codicils
In cases of revocation made by post, the revocation becomes effective when the revocation is communicated to the offeror. This means that the revocation must be received by the offeror for it to be valid; simply posting the revocation is not sufficient. If the revocation is posted but not received, it does not take effect until it reaches the offeror. Therefore, timing and receipt are critical in determining the effectiveness of the revocation.
A will may be changed or revoked at any time by the testator. A new will can revoke an older will by stating that intention in the first paragraph of the new will. The first paragraph should always declare, "I hereby revoke any and all other wills and codicils heretofore made by me."

Yes, they are an intricate part of the will. They are amendments to the will.
Communication of revocation of an offer is complete when the receiver of such communication effectively accepts such revocation.
The verb form of revocation is "revoke."
