Default Changing/Concatenate Names from [FIRST NAME/LAST NAME] to [LAST/FI

Hello All -

Slightly problematic - there are both individuals and entities in my name
range. The name range is First Name, Last Name, and needs to be changed to
Last Name, First.

I've got certain KEY words which I am thinking of using to differentiate
individuals from entities (trusts, incorporations, companies, etc.). These
would be:

Trust, Inc., Corp., #and#, Joint, Fund, L.P., LLP, LLC, PC, Tenant, P.A.,
Gmbh.

Here's a sample list (single column):

The Buscht Family Trust
Andrew Barry
Andrea Caracoi
Jacques Dore
Frederick N. Kahn and Delilah H. Kahn, Joint Tenants WROS
Harold Gorst
Matthew V. Hahnd
Jacob Hassan
Wayne Hendricksen and Leila T. Hendricksen
Barrey Hespa
R.N. Karta
Roseanne Lee-Hong
Mark L. Savage and Kristy M. Savage as Trustees of the Savage Family
Revocable Trust U/A 5/29/03
Sal Zarraba and Theresa Zarraba Family Trust, U.T.D. 09/12/02
Sal Zarraba and Theresa Zarraba Family Trust, U.T.D. 8/18/03
Sal Zarraba and Theresa Zarraba Family Trust, U.T.D. May 12, 2002
JR Tozrea
Tony Van Darlen
W. Todd Whipkey and Samantha R. Whipkey as Community Property
Paul R. Young


I'm thinking of using the FIND formula for each cell of the Name range,
which looks for the above KEY words, and if it fails to find such words, it
treats the name as an Individual, then rearranges those cells into the
desired LAST Name, FIRST Name format.

Any suggestions for an elegant way to do this?

thanks!
