Actually, Eva paying the inheritance taxes would explain why she has assets but still would have to auction Kinzo's books. 1998 evidence suggests most of her wealth was re-built after she escaped the disaster. Certainly the money Ange has inherited is not the wealth built by Kinzo or his children, but the wealth built by Eva herself from the ashes of those things, just as Kinzo built his fortune from what remained of his family's assets after the Kanto Earthquake.
