A joint possessive is used when two or more people or things own or possess the same thing.
When the nouns of a compound subject or object share the same thing, use just one apostrophe for the last noun of the compound group:
- Jeff and Joan's dog is a malamute.
When the nouns of a compound subject or object differ in ownership, then both nouns are possessive:
- Jeff's and Joan's dogs both won prizes.
