) your second marriage during subsistence of earlier marriage is illegal and a nullity. As per the Hindu Marriage Act, 1958, any second marriage contracted by a Hindu male during the life time of his first wife shall be void and the second wife shall not be entitled for anything.
but the only way you have is to write a will only if the property is self acquired and not ancestral in nature towards the lady (2nd wife)
