Any material assets would be probably be held in trust by the Empire, likely in the care of the Imperial archives (under the control of the House of the Lyorn), along with the less concrete things (such as a record of proper titles, inheritance, qualified Heirs, etc). As to how the Phoenix will rise again--this is one subject I really hesitate to spend too much time speculating on, since I have the distinct impression that Steve's got something up his sleeve, and I don't want to ruin it by maybe stumbling into what it is (or at least onto a significant part of it) ahead of time.
