Neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$\nu\beta\beta$) decay is a hypotheticalprocess that violates lepton number, and whose observation would unambiguouslyindicate that neutrinos are Majorana fermions. In the standardinverted-ordering neutrino mass scenario, the minimum possible value of mbbcorresponds to a half-life around 10$^{28}$ yr for 0$\nu\beta\beta$ decay in$^{76}$Ge, which is the target of the next generation of experiments. Thecurrent limits of GERDA and MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR indicate a half-life higherthan 10$^{26}$ yr. These experiments use high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectorsthat are highly enriched in $^{76}$Ge. They have achieved the best intrinsicenergy resolution and the lowest background rate in the signal search regionamong all 0nbb experiments. Taking advantage of these successes, a newinternational collaboration - the Large Enriched Germanium Experiment forNeutrinoless bb Decay (LEGEND) - has been formed to build, following a phasedapproach, a ton-scale experiment with discovery potential covering theinverse-ordering neutrino mass range in a decade. The first part of LEGENDproceedings describes GERDA and MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR capabilities and thegeneral plan of LEGEND to reach the goal, while this second part is focused inthe status of the first stage of LEGEND, LEGEND-200.
