What is the correct use of the apostrophe for a sign that reads Future Home Of ... Family's last name?
The use of apostrophes in last names is no different from their use in any other word. If you are referring to a house to belong to a family named "Smith," the sign would read "The Future Home of the Smiths." No apostrophe: it is merely a plural noun. If the phrase were "The Smiths' Home," that apostrophe is correct because you're using the plural possessive: the house belongs to more than one Smith. People who write things like "The Smith's" are incorrect (as was the previous answer to this question). General Point If you indicate possession by using of you musn't also use 's or s'.
Would you use an apostrophe in the sentence Please meet the Smith's?
The Smiths in this case would simply be the plural of Smith. So there would be NO apostrophe. Plural, meaning both persons as a married couple: Please meet the Smiths. The Smiths were away when their house was robbed. Plural Singular The robber took the Smith's television. The Smith's home owners policy covered the theft. IF you had a large meeting for all families named Smith, the simple plural would also be Smiths. However, for plural possessive, you'd first have Smiths with an apostrophe added, like this: All the Smiths from Washington, DC attended a city-wide picnic. While there, all the Smiths' (s apostrophe) cars were vandalized. The picnic's promoters, the Browns, were doubly embarrassed; none of the Browns' (s apostrophe) cars were damaged. If you have more than one person of a surname, just add 's'-- unless the name ends in s. (Smiths) If you have more than one person of a surname, so you add s, to make it possessive, add apostrophe after the plural s. (Smiths' coats... Smiths' cars... Smiths' cellphones...)
Is house' directions a correct grammar?
The apostrophe floating on its own at the end of a word is not usually correct in the singular form, and it is certainly incorrect in "house' directions". Write instead "house directions". If the plural is required, the apostrophe at the end of a word is correct. For example, when seeking the directions to a group of houses, it is correct (though somewhat awkward) to write houses' directions.
Should a house sign say The Smiths or The Smith's?

Why in this sentence you use an apostrophe The Robinson's house is on spring street but our's is on Randolph Drive?
An apostrophe is used to show possession: the house belongs to the Robinsons; therefore, it is the Robinsons's house. Our house (or ours - no apostrophe) is on Randolph Drive. Randolph is the name of the drive; it doesn't belong to anybody in this sentence. Of course, the sentence should be:"The Robinsons' house is on Spring Street but ours is on Randolph Drive" as "ours" is a possessive but is an exception. Unfortunately the Wiki spell checker doesn't know the correct usage either. Sigh.
