Explanation / Answer

a) in rem jurisdiction

As wiki says In rem jurisdiction is a legal term describing the power a court may exercise over property (either real or personal) or a "status" against a person over whom the court does not have in personam jurisdiction. Jurisdiction in rem assumes the property or status is the primary object of the action, rather than personal liabilities not necessarily associated with the property. So here as the property under dispute exists in Boston and one the parties is a Georgia citizen so Boston Court only has the power to exercise on the Property which is situated in Boston and has no personam jurisdiction over Kevin Hart who is the not a citizen of US.

Federal jurisdiction refers to the legal scope of the government's powers in the United States of America. See the 1962 Federal Report titled "JURISDICTION OVER FEDERAL AREAS WITHIN THE STATES". Hence this is only partially valid as an international party is involved.

In perosonam jurisdiction, the court has authority to determine personal rights and liabilities of the parties before it, which isnt the case here as Kevin Hart is not a US citizen.
