What it is
Spouses can now sign equity grant consent directly in Carta as part of the standard acceptance flow. This covers option grants, profit interest units (PIUs), and RSAs. Including spousal consent is optional. Companies choose whether to add it for any document set.
Why it matters
In community property states like California, Texas, and Washington, equity granted to an employee is legally co-owned by both spouses. Collecting consent at signing means it's part of the record from day one, with no separate document to track down.
