In Canada, most of their belongings and land/homes, fishing boats, stores etc were simply auctioned off by the government.
The Canadian government issued an order that anything that could not be taken with the Internees to the camps, was to be "taken into custody". This meant it became the property of the Canadian government.
Although the property was supposed to be kept safe, this did not happen. Almost everything was sold off - much for a fraction of what it was actually worth.
In America, I think that most of the furniture and valuable possessions were raided out of the house by the army. When the Japanese went to the internment camps they got to take some clothing, and left the rest at home.
In some cases, neighbors and friends took care of homes and businesses during the war and returned them intact upon their return. In others, they simply lost everything. It was many decades before any sort of reparations where paid to those losing so much.
