Amortization expense was $66.3 million, $72.0 million, and $66.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. During 2017, we revised our estimate of the economic useful life of our trade name intangible asset from an original life of 10 years to a remaining life of 2 years. The decrease in the useful life reflected the transition of our branding for the Property business, from the ASI trade name to the Progressive brand. The majority of the intangible assets have finite lives, which, at December 31, 2019, had a remaining life range from 2 months to 9 years, with an average remaining life of 3.7 years.
The estimated aggregate amortization on these intangible assets for each of the next five years as of December 31, 2019, follows:
