Interest Income

We received interest income from a mortgage that we held on a parent's house. The parent passed away, the estate sold the property and paid off the mortgage. We know to enter the interest as 1099-INT interest but who do we enter as the payee - the deceased individual's name or the estate thereof?

Interest Income

The estate paid you the mortgage interest so enter the estate as the payer.
