You use an apostrophe after a person's name to show possession of the object that follows the name, e.g., "This is John's hat," or "These are Mary's opinions."
If the name already ends in an s, this is what you write:
"This is James' magic bag."
Compared to:
"This is Kragen's magic bag."

Yes, a last name should have an apostrophe for possessive use. For example, if you want to indicate something belonging to someone with the last name Smith, you would write "Smith's." The apostrophe and the letter "s" show that the item belongs to the person named Smith. If the last name is pluralized, such as "the Smiths," you would use an apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "the Smiths' house").
