enter an order accordingly. The commissioner may agreeably to the best
interest of the state and in his discretion, if he deems it just to all
persons interested, execute in the name of the state, a release on such
terms and conditions as the commissioner deems just, releasing to such
person or persons as he shall have determined entitled thereto the
interest of the state in such real property so sought to be released.

2. A conveyance so made to any such person who is a parent, child,
surviving husband or widow of any such owner of any interest therein
immediately prior to the escheat, or the heirs-at-law of any such
surviving husband or widow, or the alleged grantee or any person or of
any association or body, whether incorporated or not, who or which would
have succeeded by devise or otherwise to the title of such person but
for a legal incapacity to take or convey the property so escheated shall
be without consideration, if the value, at the date of the petition, as
determined by the commissioner, of all property of any such owner
escheated to the state and not conveyed or released by the state, shall
not exceed one hundred thousand dollars, and of the property sought to
be released shall not exceed ten thousand dollars, except that any and
all expenses incurred by the state in an action to recover the property
escheated or in any action pertaining thereto, or otherwise relating to
the escheated property shall be paid by such person. Where however, the
value of the property sought to be released shall exceed the sum of ten
thousand dollars the commissioner may release the same to such person
upon the payment of the appraised value in excess of ten thousand
dollars and in addition thereto the expenses incurred by the state in an
action to recover the property as aforementioned.

3. The release shall contain a brief recital of the determinations
required to be made by the commissioner on the hearing of the petition,
