Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on will - writing rules:

Option 1: "A notary must be present during the writing of the will."

In many regions, while notarization can be part of the process (especially for self - proving wills), it is not a universal requirement for the writing of a will. Some wills can be valid without a notary being present during the writing. So this is not a main rule for all will - writing cases.

Option 2: "At least three people must witness the signing of the will."

The number of witnesses required for a will varies by jurisdiction. In some places, two witnesses are sufficient. So this is not a universal main rule.

Option 3: "An executor must be named to oversee the distribution of the estate."

One of the key aspects of writing a will is to name an executor. The executor is responsible for carrying out the instructions in the will, including the distribution of the estate. This is a fundamental and common rule in will - writing as the executor ensures that the deceased's wishes regarding their property are fulfilled.

Since the question asks to choose four correct answers and we have analyzed one here (assuming there are more options not fully shown but based on the given ones, the correct one among these is):

Answer:

C. An executor must be named to oversee the distribution of the estate (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C as per the order: A. A notary must be present during the writing of the will, B. At least three people must witness the signing of the will, C. An executor must be named to oversee the distribution of the estate)
