Can you convert a term life insurance policy to permanent coverage?

Yes, term life can be converted to permanent coverage. However, there will most likely be a substantial increase on the monthly premium. But for some this might be a good thing if one's health has worsened to the point of being uninsurable.
Yes, but you need to make sure that your policy has that provision and allows it, not all do. When purchasing a new policy, ask if you are allowed to purchase more insurance in the future without going through underwriting and whether or not the policy has a conversion option.
It depends! All companies and policies are different. Several of the companies that I work with allow for term-to-permanent conversions... but some do not. If this flexibility is important to you, it's important to know that up front.
Yes, you can convert a term life insurance policy to permanent coverage, provided your policy contains a "conversion privilege" or you purchased a convertible term rider. This allows you to upgrade your temporary protection into a lifelong policy, such as whole life or universal life, without losing coverage.
