This State shall pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by the other state in an action under this subsection.

(e) The State Escheator may retain a private attorney in this State or another state or foreign country to commence an action to recover property on behalf of the State Escheator and may agree to pay attorneys' fees based in whole or in part on a fixed fee, hourly fee, or a percentage of the amount or value of property recovered in the action.
(f) Expenses incurred by this State in an action under this section may be paid from property received under this chapter or net proceeds of the property. Expenses paid to recover property may not be deducted from the amount that is subject to a claim under this chapter by the owner.
