"confiscate" and "seize" aren't used in any of the JEs' examples. I think the glosses I've added cover that usage.

  Comments:
奪う can be used in the context of being punished.    For example, in 裁判で有罪判決を受けた詐欺師は全ての財産を国に奪われた, it is more natural to translate as ".. all his assets were confiscated/sized by the government".
