Like the other guy said, dividend stocks.
I’m not the right guy to ask about highfalutin options. My priority in your shoes would be to ensure that money was available for the critical needs of my kids.

Investing it to stay ahead of inflation is of course your prerogative. You’ll get a million recommendations here. Go with whichever you think gives a suitable balance of safety and benefit.

are you going to have to pay any taxes on it? that'd be the first thing to figure out, and would require actual legal/accounting help to minimize tax impact.
as for what to eventually put the money in, i'm risk-averse so i'd go SGOV or USFR - they're the lazy alternative to treasurydirect.gov and have the best return out of all the treasury ETFs.
if you're wanting a bit more yield, there are high-volume (almost junk) bond/loan ETFs that yield 9+% like BKLN or SRLN, you just have to make sure you set up a stop-loss to cut out when they take a dive.
i wouldn't touch stocks for at least 6 months they're still crazy high.

I'd open as much tax advantaged stuff as you can. 529 accounts for the kids for example and of course a ROTH IRA if you haven't already done that.
You can open these in brokerages.
Once you do that put a decent amount in treasury bonds/bills (6 month is optimal right now, if you think the fed isn't raising rates anymore and the government won't default (which is unlikely) get some longer dated ones.)
You should also put some in energy companies (like XOM) and in index funds. Maybe go for some vanguard/ishares ETFs like VT and FDLO.
I'd keep the adventurous stuff to a minimum.

If he got the house more than a year or so ago he very likely has a crazy low interest rate for his mortgage. My parents have something like 2% so Wells Fargo is practically paying them to stay there. Paying that off would be very stupid.
Of course if you got the house recently or didn't refinance and are paying eg 6% then yeah pay that off first.

Dumbest shit I've ever heard. Finance all that shit if you need it now.That lump sum should be invested in a brokerage to grow over time. You can gift your kids a headstart when they're ready for life later with the gains.
I'd just toss it in a taxable brokerage as:
VOO 50%
QQQM 40%
BTC 10%
If you want growth but still kinda puss out sometimes, the above portfolio would work well. If you have larger balls and can stomach some volatility, OP, you can put more into BTC.

crypto is a scam, only retards here who are forever warehouse wagies gamble and lose all their money on crypto. Crypto was never the answer, I wouldn't put money into bitcoin even if I could go back in time, the fact that it went up is a fluke and will not teach u how to make money, it's actually pure gambling. crypto is 100% driven by social motives and those social motives are driven by who the fuck knows, at any point the govermtnet could shut it down and jail you for using it and 99% of people wouldnt give a shit. some will even be happy cuz they didn;'t earn money of it themslevs (crab mentality)
humans are like that.

Crypto is never the answer it's so fucking useless and u are gonna be on IRS watchlist forever just for buying it once. it's black market money that will ruin ur name and ur shadow goverment profile will forever be tarnished as potential anti goverment fag that willing to use black market and is anti dollar
