The laws of California would apply to any property located in California. Generally, the jurisdiction where the property is located has jurisdiction over it's distribution upon the death of the owner. You can add more details on the discussion page.

Explain the difference between personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction?

Both deal with (generally) federal court jurisdiction. In order for a court (and this can apply to state courts as well) to have jurisdiction over the parties involved, they must somehow be connected to that state. Generally this is satisfied by citizenship in that state. For instance, TN would have jurisdiction over a TN citizen. If the parties are not both from the forum state, then in order for the court to exercise jurisdiction, the foreign party must have certain connections with the forum state. This can become pretty complex, but the operative case is International Shoe v. Washington which requires so called "minimum contacts" between the foreign party and the forum state. For example, If I buy a bad burger that makes from a national fast food chain with multiple locations in TN, then that company may be sued in TN, even if it is not "domiciled" in TN, because there is probably personal jurisdiction over it because of its contacts with the forum state. There are other ways to exercise jurisdiction and there are multiple levels of intricacy, but that's the general gist. Subject Matter Jurisdiction instead deals with what types of cases a federal court can hear. Generally there are two types of Subject Matter Jurisdiction: First is Diversity Jurisdiction. This requires that the parties be "diverse" or from different states and that the "amount in controversy" be over $75,000. The second type is federal question jurisdiction, which provides a federal forum for any claim arising under federal law. Federal Civil Rights Violations are a good example. For federal question claims, there is not amount in controversy requirement and diversity is not necessary.


What is the difference between specific jurisdiction and general jurisdiction under general US laws?

General jurisdiction and specific jurisdiction is somewhat related to the Minimum contacts analysis put forth by International Shoe. A state that has general jurisdiction over a Defendant, either a person or a corporation, has the power over the Defendant for any claim arising in the world (meaning the claim does not have to have a transactional relationship with the forum (court asserting personal jurisdiction)). However, to have general jurisdiction over a defendant, the defendant must have systematic and continuous contacts with the state. Other points to remember for general jurisdiction: 1) a state always has general jurisdiction over a corporation that is headquartered there (i.e the state has power to bring the defendant, that has its headquarters there, into court for a claim arising outside of the state.) 2) a state always has general jurisdiction over a person that is domiciled in that state (i.e the state has power to bring the defendant, that has its domiciled there, into court for a claim arising outside of the state.) Specific Jurisdiction requires a transactional relationship (i.e the claims arises out of the Defendants in state activities (transactional relationship)), but only requires minimal minimum contacts, not systematic and continuous. Specific jurisdiction only allows the court power to adjudicate claims over the defendant arising out its in state activity.
