Term life insurance policies typically include a little-known provision that lets you convert them into permanent life insurance, the type that never expires and whose types include whole life and universal life. The option is "somewhat under the radar,” says Barb Pietrangelo, a financial planner and insurance expert at Prudential. Yet a term life insurance conversion, she says, could be an easy and cost-effective way...
