I thought it was when declaring possession but I think this is wrong now according to Word. I hope this is making sense.

Sarahs' is the plural possessive.
"Sarah C. and Sarah J., the Sarahs, bought the car together. It was the Sarahs' car."
Sarah's is the singular possessive, or contraction for 'Sarah is.'
"Sarah's going to the mechanic shop to drop off Sarah's car."

Sarahs' would require something belonging to 2 or more Sarahs. Sarah's would be a single sarah owning something.

The apostrophe comes after the word when dealing with plural possessives, as in "All the Sarahs' handbags were fake." It can also come after a possessive that already ends in 's,' as in "James' cat."

Sarah's -
belonging to Sarah (possession) - Sarah's coat
OR
contraction for "Sarah is" - Sarah's going to the mall
Sarahs' -
belonging to multiple Sarahs (not really a good example, since this is very rare to use in conversation)
A better example would be:
hamster's
hamsters'
That's the hamster's cage. (belongs to 1 hamster)
That's the hamsters' cage. (belongs to 2+ hamsters)

the word Sarah's is possessive meaning it can only be used when talking about if sarah owns something the sarahs' can be used if you are talking about more than one sarah

Sarahs' would mean something would belong to Sarahs but only if her name was "Sarahs" with the "S" after it.
Sarah's mean that something belongs to Sarah.
Like "Sarah's dog"
