If I don't honor the executors lawyer, is this considered contesting the will?

What exactly do you mean "honor" the lawyer? How is this done? I assume you don't mean to give them an award and a parade. Contest of the will is done by filing a will caveat. If you do not file a caveat then the will stands if it is probated regardless of whether you agree or not with its terms. Codicils, if not executed properly, may be invalid and if that is the case they will not be admitted as part of the will. The estate will be administered without reference to these codicils. I also don't understand who exactly you are and what is going on here. Your post suggests that you are a beneficiary/heir or potential heir of the estate but that you may not be the executor named in the will. When someone dies with a will, an application for probate is submitted by the executor named in the will. The heirs/beneficiaries either consent or not. If they object to the appointment of the executor, they file those objections. If they are accepting the appointment but challenging the will or a codicil itself, then this is done by filing a will caveat. The court clerk will hold a hearing or bind over the caveat for trial of whatever issues are raised in the caveat. If the caveat is successful, the will is usually thrown out (most often these situations concern someone who made a recent will or who changed a will leaving a significant chunk of assets to one person and leaving very little or completely disinheriting someone else). A caveat will not make an invalid codicil valid though unless there was some error by the clerk in determining the codicil was invalid. You sound confused and I would suggest that if you are a disgruntled heir that you consult with a probate litigation attorney who practices in the county where the will is being probated. Have the attorney review the will and codicils and determine if you would benefit from a will caveat.
