What exactly you mean by your ex husband securing property in India? It is his own and even as a NRI he can continue to hold and own. If he wishes, he can write a Will in favor of whomsoever he wishes as the property is presumably his self acquired.

As the property in India is his property, he can bequeath it through a Will to whomever he wishes to give it. The Will may be written in his handwriting or be scribed by a lawyer or a Document Writer.

There are many ways to secure the property in India.
Firstly the property owned by him as his self acquired property cannot be taken away by anyone, if that is the case then it will be an illegal act, including any such act done by the ex-wife or the children born to him.
The property will remain as his own property till his lifetime or till he disposes the same during his lifetime.
Bequeathing the property by a Will is one mode of transferring the property and it cannot be considered as securing the property.

Not clear as to which property you are talking about?

What do you mean by "How can the guy secure the property owned in India"?

Further, any suggestion depends upon the personal law applicable.
