Explanation:

There are certain Jurisdiction Based on Real Property Ownership which are limited and are termed as "in rem" jurisdiction

A state (Kansas, Missouri) has limited jurisdiction (which lawyers term as "in rem" jurisdiction) over a non-resident person or business that owns real property in the state. The Jurisdiction is limited in two ways:

Jurisdiction is applicable only to the fair market value of the real property. This means that if you sue a non-citizen who owns an business worth $800,000, then in this case, your judgment can be worth is $800,000. Also if, the claim is related to the property. For example, if you met an accident on the property of a non-resident owner of an business house, you could get jurisdiction over the owner. But you could probably not get jurisdiction over the non-resident owner if the lawsuit grows out of an entirely separate problem that has nothing to do with the apartment house.
