Portrait of Jasmin Arya

Jasmin Arya

Attorney

Clients turn to Jasmin Arya for practical, compassionate guidance on estate planning, probate, and trust matters. Based in Los Angeles, California, Jasmin helps individuals and families structure, administer, and, when necessary, litigate estates and trusts so that wealth is preserved and transferred in accordance with their wishes.

Jasmin represents clients who are creating or updating estate plans, those who have recently lost a loved one and need assistance with probate or trust administration, and beneficiaries and fiduciaries involved in trust and probate disputes. She drafts and responds to pleadings, motions, and petitions—including contested probate petitions, motions for summary judgment, and motions for new trial—and appears in court to litigate these matters. She also handles all phases of discovery, from written discovery to taking and defending depositions, and she assists clients in mediation and settlement negotiations to achieve efficient, cost-effective resolutions.

On the planning side, Jasmin independently manages estate planning engagements from the initial consultation through execution of documents. A patient and attentive “people person,” she focuses on understanding each client’s goals and family dynamics, then tailoring wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and related instruments to meet those needs. Colleagues and clients know Jasmin as a diligent advocate who invests in each matter to secure the best possible outcome for the individuals and families she serves.

    Artful Donations: Exploring Museum Exchange
    In this episode of The Legal Canvas, host Caryn Keppler welcomes Robert Wainstein and Michael Darling, co-founders of Museum Exchange, the first digital platform dedicated to facilitating art donations to museums and nonprofit institutions across North America. Together, they explore how technology is transforming the way collectors, artists, estates, and cultural organizations connect through charitable giving. Robert and Michael explain the inspiration behind Museum Exchange, the challenges they set out to solve, and how the platform has grown into a network of more than 400 museums. They walk listeners through the donation process—from evaluating artwork and matching donors with institutions to handling logistics, documentation, and tax considerations. Along the way, they discuss the realities of museum collecting, why many donations are declined, and how thoughtful placements can help preserve artists' legacies while expanding access to important works of art. The conversation also explores Museum Exchange's work with living artists, artist estates, hospitals, universities, and smaller regional museums, as well as the launch of the Charis Foundation for the Arts, a nonprofit designed to steward significant collections before placing them with institutions that can best benefit from them. Robert and Michael conclude by sharing their vision for the future of charitable art transactions and how Museum Exchange is helping reshape philanthropy in the arts for generations to come.
