Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in California

I am being sued as a "successor in interest" for legal professional malpractice committed by my deceased husband. There was a mandatory arbitration clause in the fee agreement. There is no money in estate and probate was never done. I have no assets. My husband was a sole practitioner. Person is not suing for attorney's fees but for professional negligence. What are my defenses?
