The situation is - brother marries for the second time with out divorceing his first living wife.in addition to worsen matters writes a WILL in respect to his share in undivided immovable property in his second wife's name.omitting his first wife's and children's name.
Query...what legal action can other family members take who have equal share in the undivided immovable property as per the WILL of their deceased father.(self acquired)

Others can take up the matter to the court for partition and to get each ones share demarcated.
The Will will have force only after his death. The writing of the Will has no legal consequence at all as of now.

Whether the first wife is alive and what about her stage? did she made any complaint agaisnt the husband?how long she remains silent after the second marriage? Without these details no conclusion could be arrived at.

No other family member can initiate legal action against such type of second marriage .Only aggrieved first wife can take legal action.

Yes. As the first wife is silent regarding her husband's marriage with another no one complains against him. For undivided property, the other coparceners/coowners may file a case in a court of law.

She can very well file a complaint on bigamy and take legal action for remedies including right over the property.
