Since your name is on the deed the 1099S will be issued to you. You have contracted with the previous owner to give a portion of the proceeds so you will have to issue them a 1099 for the money that you are paying to them and they will receive it as regular income instead of long term capital gains. They also lose the homestead exclusion on the gain on the sale of a primary residence.
