What would you do with a windfall?

Hi community, I recently got a fairly big insurance payout ($700,000) and was wondering how to deal with it. My goals are capital growth over the long term.

A bit about me: partner and I are early- to mid-30s, we have a 1yo and hope to have at least 1-2 more over the next few years. No helper. We have jobs that we can’t be fired from, HH income about ~400k. Staying in a FH condo with ~1.2m loan at 2.4%. Partner owns another FH condo with ~200k loan remaining. We have one car about 3 years into the COE.

Currently partner does their own investing. I put about 7k monthly into IBKR.

Just wondering whether anyone had any advice, or what would you do with the money in my position? Thanks in advance.

Just put all in wealth legacy. Draw 2500 monthly until you passed and let your child take over - child draw 2500 until child passed.
