When the presumptive heirs have been placed in provisional possession of the estate of the absentee, if there exists a will made by said absentee it may be presented or opened at the request of an interested party, and the testamentary heirs, legatees and donees as well as all persons having a claim against the said estate by reason of his death, may exercise their rights or prosecute their claims on condition that they give sufficient security for their possession and administration.
