We Make Probate Simple

What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of settling someone’s estate after they pass away. That includes validating their will (if there is one), paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to heirs.

In California, probate can take 12 to 24 months, involves multiple court filings, and is part of the public record. Even simple estates can become complicated without the right guidance.

With the right legal team, probate doesn’t have to be overwhelming — and it doesn’t have to drag on. We're here to help you navigate it efficiently and with confidence.

Full-Service Support From day one, you’ll have a responsive team by your side. We don’t just advise, we do the work. Whether it’s filing documents, managing deadlines, or answering questions, we handle the details so you can focus on your family.

We Handle All Court Appearances You won’t need to set foot in a courtroom. We represent you at every stage, from initial filings to final orders, ensuring your case moves forward professionally and without interruption.

Statutory Fees, So Experience Matters In California, probate attorney fees are set by statute, meaning you’ll pay the same whether you hire a generalist or a firm that focuses exclusively on probate. That’s why it makes sense to choose a team with the experience to get it right the first time.

With Debbie Babb Law, you get more than legal advice — you get a team committed to making a difficult time easier.
