Inheritance question

I am the executor of my fathers will. Everything is straight forward, other than he has a stipulation that any body under 21 doesn’t get their portion until they turn 21. What is the best way to go about doing this as it will take 1-6 years for the younger ones to get their inheritance. And we don’t want it just sitting in some bank account making .5% APR when we can throw it in a cd and have of make 4-5%. Thanks!
