They do consider this an excessive fee, though it may be warranted 
depending on the familial relationship:

Why is the dollar amount not listed?
The dollar amount due is not listed to discourage professional finders, 
who charge a fee, from seeking out owners and taking advantage of them. 
Although there are some reputable professional finders that charge 
reasonable fees, we have found others that charge up to 50%. North 
Carolina statute requires professional finders to be registered with our 
office; however, some do not. The State Treasurer.s Office does not charge 
for an owner to claim funds due to them. This is a FREE service.
