Examples:Mr. Brown's house, or the plural: the Browns' house.Ms. Bass's house, or the plural: the Basses' house.Mr. Cruz's house, or the plural: the Cruzes' house.Since surnames do not have irregular plural forms, a plural surname will always end with an -s; the plural possessive form will always end with -'s.

I always prefer the second example for the plural of an acronym.The possessive form of example 2 is MDs'. Of course, you can never go wrong if you spell out the acronym: Medical Doctors'.Note: I deliberately described the form MD as an acronym rather than an abbreviation because abbreviations can be so varied (i.e., cont., n.) and clumsy to make plural or possessive. It is always proper to spell out an abbreviation when it is more than a notation.
