Quand le substantif «grant» est employé seul pour désigner spécifiquement soit l'une des trois catégories de «letters» mentionnées ci-dessus, soit une de leurs espèces (par ex. «letters of administration ad litem»), c'est-à-dire comme contraction de «grant of letters (of administration «ad litem»)», etc., il sera rendu par l'équivalent qui a été normalisé pour cette catégorie ou cette espèce (ou seulement «lettres»).
