She chastised the two sons for acting in their interests rather than their father's and said "they have used their father's incapacity to try and wrest as much of his assets from him as possible".

Is "try and wrest" correct? Or should it be "try to wrest"?

Thanks!

@tanguatlay,
Both are acceptable — I prefer "try to wrest", especially for writing.
