(a) No trust is invalid or terminated, and title to trust assets is not merged, because the trustee or trustees are the same person or persons as the beneficiaries of the trust.

irrevocable, is or becomes revocable by the grantor or settlor because the grantor or settlor is the sole beneficiary of the trust.
