My reply to the Party Treasurer questions from another thread.
The Party Treasurer is a nominated job...like mapper in a dungeon. That player is responsible for writing down any coins, art, gems, items etc... That no player claims and marks on their own sheet.
Items in the party treasury may be distributed amongst get the party (if you just picked up 1000 coins but haven't left the dungeon yet), kept in a magical space (bag of holding), or even stored back at a base or bank or other physical location.
If Player A wanted to get an item from the party treasure, they would have to transfer it from the treasury as they would in any other game. If all the potions of fire resistance are kept in the treasury, they would have to interact with the character holding that bag or visit the armory in the keep or whatever. They could then write it on their individual character sheet and it would be stricken from the party treasure.
If a player leaves the game, they just hand the treasure sheet to another player to track. If a character dies someone else in the party would grab the stuff and take up the mantle.
We actually lost a wizard to disintegration in 5e who was holding the bag of holding that contained a large subset of the party treasure. We did indeed lose all of those items with our companion. It was crappy, but not devestating since most items in the treasury are those that nobody really wanted like a drow tentacle whip or a Potion of Friends or other useless item.
