The money will get added to existing accounts, specifically taxable mutual fund investments most likely.

Curious as for your daughter's 529 do you think you will have it fully funded or will she need to take out loans.
Who knows what "fully funded" means? No, I don't expect the 529 to cover 100% of expenses. I want to avoid overfunding it and being left with money in the account that we have to pay penalty and taxes on to withdraw. If the 529 covers 1/3 to 1/2, that would be fine.
