If it's a grantor trust, the grantor is also the trustee, and the payor has the grantor's W-9 on file to issue 1099 with his/her name and SSN, there should be no problem. Otherwise, as the IRMN says, Uncle Sam will probably issue a notice as they'd be expecting a 1041 from the trust.
If these conditions are met except the brokerage does not have the grantor's W-9, you may like to suggest your client work with the brokerage to make the change to simplify the reporting going forward.
