Adam James Kaufman

Adam Kaufman is an attorney at the firm of Henningson & Snoxell, Ltd., located in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Adam helps individuals and families of all sizes and asset levels by advising them and preparing: Wills Trusts Health care directives; and Powers of attorney. Adam assists individuals with their elder law needs, including Medical assistance and incapacity planning; and Guardianships and conservatorships.

Adam also represents fiduciaries in probate and trust administrations for decedents’ estates, including uncontested and contested matters.

He takes a personal interest in working with clients throughout their lifetimes and helping them plan for their future, including assisting them with charitable giving and business succession planning. While he now focuses exclusively on estate planning and related issues, his previous experience included a broader scope of legal practice areas, including real estate, business, and family law, all of which can play a role in a person’s estate planning. As a result, Adam’s clients also call him for direction on whom to contact for their legal needs in areas outside of estate planning.

Adam received his B.A. in Sociology and Criminal Justice from the University of Minnesota and his J.D. from Hamline University School of Law. He is admitted to practice in Minnesota's state and federal courts and is a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association. Before joining Henningson & Snoxell, Adam was a partner in another Twin Cities law firm, where he practiced estate planning and provided legal services in other practice areas. Adam’s pro bono work has included the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Wills for Heroes program, Central Minnesota Legal Services, and Volunteers of America. He has been active as a children’s coach in baseball and soccer. Adam also provides informational seminars that help clients and prospective clients understand the need for updating or creating an estate plan.

Adam grew up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, known for being on Lake Michigan, having world-class golf courses and bratwurst, not necessarily in that order. Adam moved to Minnesota in 1995 to attend college at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Adam and his wife met in college, and they now have three boys, including twins, who keep them extremely busy with their school, activities, and non-stop energy. Adam’s free time is spent with family, going to the lake in the summer, family vacations and trips with friends, and attending and watching pro and college sporting events, including his favorite teams, the Chicago Cubs and Bears.
