Re: What is Kim entitled to from her grandmothers estate?

Yes, I would say that "Kim", under the circunstances decribed, would be

entitled to choose something in the category of furniture other than office chairs, if she wanted to.(The foregoing assumes that the grandmother left no will with specific instrictions as to what Kim was to receive in terms of bequests.)
