(1)A court of this state lacking jurisdiction under KRS 387.826 has special jurisdiction

to do any of the following:

(a)Appoint a guardian in an emergency for a term not exceeding ninety

(90)days

for a respondent who is physically present in this state;

(b)Issue a protective order with respect to real or tangible personal property

located in this state; and

(c)Appoint a guardian or conservator for an incapacitated or protected person for

whom a provisional order to transfer the proceeding from another state has

been issued under procedures similar to KRS 387.840.

filed, the court shall dismiss the proceeding at the request of the court of the home

state, if any, whether dismissal is requested before or after the emergency

appointment.
