Bespoke wealth protection and succession strategies for Armadale’s high-net-worth families. Secure your legacy with a strategic, protection-first approach from Jeremy Douglas and Summit Financial Planning.
Armadale (3143) is home to some of Melbourne’s most significant family estates and heritage properties. Whether you are managing assets near the High Street precinct or looking to protect wealth accumulated through a family business, the requirements for success are unique.
At Summit Financial Planning, we specialise in the intergenerational wealth needs of Armadale families. We ensure that complex structures like Family Trusts and SMSFs are optimised for both current income and future legacy, protecting your hard-earned assets from tax leakage.

Standard Wills often fall short for complex estates. We specialise in robust succession strategies involving Testamentary Discretionary Trusts, multi-generational wealth transfer, and business succession planning. Our goal is to ensure your hard-earned assets remain within the family and are protected from external risks or litigation.
Self-managed superannuation is a cornerstone of wealth in the Inner East. We provide expert guidance on SMSF setup, ongoing compliance, and advanced investment strategies; including Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBA) for commercial property and tax-effective pension structures.
Summit Financial Planning is deeply embedded in the Melbourne community. Located just minutes from High Street, Armadale, we provide discrete, professional consultations that integrate seamlessly with your existing legal and accounting teams.
