About Barbara M.
Barbara M. Loebner earned her J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law. Her legal education laid the groundwork for a practice centered on matters that shape family and financial legacies. She trained at a law school known for combining doctrinal study with practical skills, and she took that training into private practice in California.
Her career has been built around a private practice model. She established the Law Office of Barbara Loebner and has managed a caseload that reflects the slow, detail-oriented work of estate planning and probate administration. Over time she has guided clients through document drafting, estate administration and related court procedures, handling both routine and complex matters that arise when assets and family interests must be sorted.
She is a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law as recognized by the State Bar of California. That credential signals a defined area of practice and a concentration of professional activity. In day-to-day work she prepares wills and trust instruments, advises on trust administration and represents personal representatives and beneficiaries in probate proceedings.
Colleagues and clients describe her approach as methodical and straightforward. She places weight on clear explanations and practical documents that reflect a client’s wishes. When disputes emerge, she moves into litigation and court work as needed, balancing negotiation with the procedural demands of probate courts. Her files often involve tax and family considerations that require coordinating with accountants and financial advisers.
Because estate work often follows life milestones, her calendar includes both preventive planning for living clients and post‑death administration. That mix means she regularly revises plans to reflect changed family circumstances or new law. She also handles successor trustee issues and assists conservators or guardians when incapacity becomes part of a client’s reality.
She operates the Law Office of Barbara Loebner in California where she maintains an active practice advising individuals and families. She currently focuses her practice on estate planning, trust and probate matters.
