There are a few issues here: Do you receive a Schedule K-1 for the trust? If so, the income should be included on that form. You should contact the property manager to submit a new W9 so that he can issue the 1099-MISC in your wife's name not her fathers. If you are reporting the income and expenses on your own Schedule E, you can report the income even if the property manager does not change the form. If, however, there is still an estate for her father the income would be reported there and you would receive a Schedule K-1(1041).
