Answer:

in rem jurisdiction

Step-by-step explanation:

In the specific law suit that is being described, Indiana has in rem jurisdiction over the court case. This refers to a legal term describing the power that a court may exercise over a specific property or even a "status" against an individual whom the court does not have in personam jurisdiction, meaning that the court does not have authority over that individual. In this case, Indiana does not have jurisdiction over Jac but does have in rem jurisdiction over the commercial building in question.
