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.
