successors'
Belonging to replacements
Successors' is the possessive form of the plural successors—those who follow or replace others in a position, role, or sequence.
The apostrophe after the s indicates possession by multiple successors: The founders' vision was carried forward by their successors' decisions.
Used when something belongs to or is associated with more than one successor.
