Write a Salesforce Trigger for account name should be a combination of lastnames of all its related contacts
Write a trigger for account name should be a combination of lastnames of all its related contacts. eg. if I have two contacts 1. test name 2. test name2 in an account. In this case account name should be "name name2". If I add a new contact "test name3" to this account, now account name should be "name name2 name3

{
lst.add(c.accountId);
}
list lac=new list();
list lacc=[select Id,Name,(select Id,lastName from contacts) from account where Id in:lst];
for(account a:lacc)

I see that this is not mentioned this (account name should be combination of both account name and contact last name) in your first post here. Please make sure you have your requirement clear in the first instance.
So your Account name should be "AccountName ContactLastName1 ContactLastName2 ContactLastName3 and so on" ? Confirm and then I will update the code and post.

Based on the assumption in my previous post, updated the code here..UpdateAccountNameFromContactLastName2
This will work in all scenario - Insert, Update, Delete, Undelete of a Contact on an Account.
