(a) A court of this state lacking jurisdiction under AS 13.27.110 has special jurisdiction to

(1) appoint a guardian in an emergency for a term not exceeding 90 days for a respondent who is physically present in this state;

(2) issue a protective order with respect to real or tangible personal property located in this state;
