Grandpa died a few weeks ago and just found out he left me $250,000. Law school loans will be paid off within the next few months regardless. Paid cash for my car and owe $200k on house. About $25k in 401k and that's it. Thinking ill max out 401k and Roth for this year, keep some cash liquid so that I can do the same next year, and put the rest in a Vanguard SP500 index fund. Any other suggestions brothers?

Edit: Currently make 120k in house.

I agree.

I sometimes get criticized for being too debt-phobic, but I've always tried to pay shit down.

If the OP's employment is secure, then having a paid off house is 180 and he will start accumulating wealth quickly.

It's entirely possible the market won't beat 4% over however many years given where its at right now. And historical trends aren't great to go by given the US is a much more mature economy now than even 50 years ago.

I'd say sink 150k in the mortgage and leave yourself 100k liquid to play with. You'll pay off the remaining mortgage quickly enough and it gives you a reasonable amount to fall back on.

paying off your mortgage would be stupid. if you just invested it in low-cost index funds, you would do much better than 4%. at 200k, your payments can't be bad, so no risk you are going to get nojerb owned and be unable to make your payments (and if that did happen, just take out of your inheritance investments to float you).
