Theirs or Their’s

The pronoun "theirs" is used to indicate that something belongs to multiple people, and it is a third-person plural possessive pronoun. It is important to note that "their's" with an apostrophe is an incorrect spelling and should not be used. Unlike possessive nouns, possessive pronouns do not take an apostrophe.
