OUR PROCESS

At the Levine Gevin Group, our goal is to help you implement your life plan. This entails leaving no stone unturned in incorporating a wealth program to address your financial and life issues. Along the way, we continually provide education aimed at the specific financial and transition issues you are facing. We've learned that the biggest cause of anxiety is the lack of knowledge, therefore we proactively prepare for each life transition.

Helping local professionals and small business owners manage their 401(k) and executives transition to a new stage of life in retirement has led to many caring and trusting relationships with our clients. Over the last 25-plus years, we have had the privilege of expanding those relationships to include client's children, grandchildren and other family members in both the Savannah area and across the country.

Experience working with multiple generations enables us to offer solutions to not only retirees and pre-retirees but also younger clients who may be preparing to buy a home or saving for their children's college education. We are always here to act as a sounding board for various financial decisions, no matter how big or small.

As our client, you are also a friend, and we will go to great lengths and into meticulous detail. Our role is to handle the financial issues, so you can concentrate on what you most enjoy. We have learned that financial assets are just the starting point in enjoying life and retirement, and thus supplement traditional financial planning services with client events that focus on lifestyle issues like health care and nutrition.

9Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
