Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment. Old National completed its most recent annual goodwill impairment test as of August 31, 2016 and concluded that, based on current events and circumstances, it is not more likely than not that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds fair value.

During 2016, Old National recorded $111.3 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Anchor. Also during 2016, Old National eliminated $41.0 million of goodwill associated with the sale of its insurance operations. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for detail regarding goodwill recorded in 2015 associated with acquisitions.

The gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of other intangible assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was as follows:


(dollars in thousands)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization and Impairment			Net Carrying Amount
2016
Amortized intangible assets:
Core deposit	$	81,663	$	(53,214	)	$	28,449
Customer trust relationships		16,547		(7,753	)		8,794
Customer loan relationships		4,413		(3,979	)		434

Total intangible assets	$	102,623	$	(64,946	)	$	37,677

2015
Amortized intangible assets:
Core deposit	$	60,103	$	(43,982	)	$	16,121

Customer trust relationships		16,547		(5,286	)		11,261
Customer loan relationships		4,413		(3,933	)		480

Total intangible assets	$	111,850	$	(76,542	)	$	35,308

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles and are being amortized primarily on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives, generally over a period of 5 to 15 years. During 2016, Old National increased core deposit intangibles by $21.6 million related to the Anchor acquisition. In addition, Old National eliminated $6.7 million of customer business relationship intangibles associated with its insurance operation, which was sold May 31, 2016.

Old National reviews other intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded in 2016, 2015, or 2014. Total amortization expense associated with intangible assets was $12.5 million in 2016, $11.7 million in 2015, and $9.1 million in 2014.

Estimated amortization expense for future years is as follows:


(dollars in thousands)
2017	$	11,015
2018		8,687
2019		6,737
2020		4,883
2021		3,111
