Answer: With regards to this suit, Indiana has "rem jurisdiction."

Step-by-step explanation:

Rem jurisdiction is when the courts of that city/state has control/authority over the property in question. When it is lawsuit against a property and not person, this is when it goes into rem. The court will be able to decide who is the legal owner of the property, without having the parties be citizens of the state. This can also be used to get a title, partitioning real estate, foreclosure, and enforcing liens on property.

Rem can also be used when there is a marriage involved and someone is getting a divorce.
